A cell may transport a substance in lysosomes / vesicles if the substance is too large to cross the membrane.

Answer:

The correct answer would be vesicles.

Vesicles are defined as fluid filled sac or bladder enclosed by lipid bilayer.

Transport vesicles are specialized vesicles used in transportation of material (such as proteins, enzymes, hormones, neurotransmitters etc) within the cell as well as outside the cell.

Proteins required by cell organelles and plasma membrane are usually synthesized by ribosomes at rough endoplasmic reticulum and transported to Golgi bodies with the help of vesicles for further maturation and modifications.

Post-modifications these proteins are transported to their destined organelles (like plasma membrane, peroxisome, outside the cell etc) after packed into the transport vesicles.

The lipid membrane of the transport vesicle merges with the plasma membrane in order to release these proteins outside the cell.

In contrast, lysosomes are the cell organelles which contain digestive enzymes. They help in digesting food particles and unwanted cellular components or cellular debris.
