What is the function of a lumen in a cell?
I was wondering if you could tell me about the function of a lumen within a cell?
Sure, a lumen is the inside space or cavity of a tubular structure, such as an anatomical tubular structure or a plant vessel. In a cell, the lumen can refer specifically to the interior space of certain organelles, such as the endoplasmic reticulum.
