  • Vesicles: Understanding Membrane-Bound Sacs in Cells
    A sac formed from pieces of cell membrane is called a vesicle.

    Here's why:

    * Vesicles are small, membrane-bound sacs that transport substances within the cell or between cells.

    * They are formed by budding off from existing membranes, like the plasma membrane or the Golgi apparatus.

    * This budding process involves the membrane folding inwards and pinching off, creating a closed sac.

    Therefore, a vesicle is the specific term for a sac formed from pieces of cell membrane.
