Question

What happens in exocytosis?

Answer 1

Cell transport:

1. Cell transports are the movements of substances through the cell membrane.
2. The material can enter and exit the cells.

Types of cell transport:

1. Active transport
2. Passive transport
3. Facilitators

Types of active transport:

1. Antiport Pumps
2. Symport Pumps
3. Endocytosis
4. Exocytosis

Exocytosis:

1. It is the process of transferring components from within a cell to the cell outside.
2. Because it requires energy, this method is referred to as active transport.
3. It is a critical process in plant and animal cells that performs the opposite function of endocytosis.
4. It refers to the transfer of membrane-bound vesicles carrying biological substances to the cell membrane.
5. Vesicles merge with the cell membrane and expel their contents outside the cell.
6. It is essential because it allows cells to expel trash and substances such as hormones and proteins.
7. Chemical signaling and cell-to-cell communication both need exocytosis.
8. It is also used to restore the cell membrane by restoring lipids and proteins lost during endocytosis.
