Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is exocytosis?
A
A type of passive transport that removes material from the cell.
B
A type of passive transport that adds material to the cell.
C
A type of active transport that removes material from the cell.
D
A type of active transport that adds material to the cell.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Exocytosis is when a cell uses secretory vesicles to expel materials or transport large molecules to the exterior of the cell. The vesicle then fuses with the plasma membrane and pushes the particles out of the cell into the extracellular fluid.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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-4: -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-5: -Exocytosis is a process by which a cell transports secretory products through the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane. Secretory products are packaged into transport vesicles (membrane-bound spheres).
