TRANSPORT INTO AND OUT OF THE CELL

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of active transport uses a vesicle to allow a large molecule to exit the cell?
A
Endocytosis
B
Exocytosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Exocytosis (exo = external, cytosis = transport mechanism) is a form of bulk transport in which materials are transported from the inside to the outside of the cell in membrane-bound vesicles that fuse with the plasma membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -Exocytosis is a form of active transport through which large molecules are moved from the interior to the exterior of the cell. Vesicles are packaged within the cell and transported to the cell membrane, where their phospholipid bilayers fuse. This allows the 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 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-5: -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.
