Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When cells form a vesicle to release materials, which form of transport is occurring?
A
Endocytosis
B
Exocytosis
C
Facilitated Diffusion
D
Osmosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Exocytosis is the process by which a large amount of molecules are released; thus it is a form of bulk transport. Exocytosis occurs via secretory portals at the cell plasma membrane called porosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Exocytosis is the process by which cells move materials from within the cell into the extracellular fluid. Exocytosis occurs when a vesicle fuses with the plasma membrane, allowing its contents to be released outside the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Exocytosis is defined as the transport and fusion of secretory vesicles with the plasma membrane and the extracellular space. There are three exocytosis pathways that deliver vesicles to the plasma membrane.

Detailed explanation-4: -Exocytosis is the fusion of secretory vesicles with the plasma membrane and results in the discharge of vesicle content into the extracellular space and the incorporation of new proteins and lipids into the plasma membrane.
