Assume a molecule must cross the plasma membrane into a cell. The molecule is a very large protein. How will it be transported into the cell?

Explain your answer.

Large cells either enter through protein pumps which pump molecules into the cell or by a formation of a vesicle around the molecule which encloses the molecule close to the membrane and breaks down from the cell membrane and carries it inside the cell

Large proteins cannot cross the plasma membrane directly, so they enter the cell through vesicle transport via endocytosis. This process involves the membrane forming a vesicle around the protein, which requires energy. Once inside, the vesicle can fuse with other cellular structures to assist in processing the protein.
