  • Exocytosis: Understanding Molecule Transport Out of Cells
    The transport of a molecule from inside a cell to the outside is called exocytosis.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Exo- means "outside"

    * Cytosis refers to cell movement

    In exocytosis, the cell packages the molecule into a small, membrane-bound vesicle. This vesicle then moves to the cell membrane and fuses with it, releasing the molecule into the extracellular space.
