TRANSPORT INTO AND OUT OF THE CELL

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A type of active transport that releases particles that were enclosed from a cell when the membrane of the vesicle fuses with that of the cell membrane
A
Exocytosis
B
Osmosis
C
Mitosis
D
Endoyctosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Exocytosis describes the process of vesicles fusing with the plasma membrane and releasing their contents to the outside of the cell. Both endocytosis and exocytosis are active transport processes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Exocytosis is a form of bulk transport during which large numbers of molecules are transported out of the cell. In exocytosis, a vesicle (a small, membrane-bound compartment) containing the molecules to be released fuses with the cell membrane, and the contents of the vesicle are expelled.

Detailed explanation-3: -Endocytosis and exocytosis are the names given to the active, bulk transport of products across the cell membrane. These processes allow larger molecules that cannot diffuse through the lipid bilayer to cross the membrane. Endocytosis is the process by which substances are engulfed into the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Endocytosis and exocytosis are the mechanisms by which cells transport items that are too big to pass through the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane directly into or out of the cell. Exocytosis and endocytosis are two processes that allow large molecules, bacteria, and waste materials to pass through the cell membrane.

Detailed explanation-5: -Endocytosis is a type of active transport that moves particles, such as large molecules, parts of cells, and even whole cells, into a cell. There are different variations of endocytosis, but all share a common characteristic: The plasma membrane of the cell invaginates, forming a pocket around the target particle.
