Detailed explanation-1: -Exocytosis is an energy-consuming process that expels secretory vesicles containing nanoparticles (or other chemicals) out of the cell membranes into the extracellular space. Generally, these membrane-bound vesicles contain soluble proteins, membrane proteins, and lipids to be secreted to the extracellular environment.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is exocytosis? Exocytosis definition and purposes. 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 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-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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Exocytosis occurs when a cell produces substances for export, such as a protein, or when the cell is getting rid of a waste product or a toxin. Newly made membrane proteins and membrane lipids are moved on top the plasma membrane by exocytosis.
