  • Exocytosis: How Cells Release Contents from Vesicles
    The transport process that cells use to direct the contents of vesicles out of the membrane is called exocytosis.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Vesicles: These are small, membrane-bound sacs within the cell that hold various substances like proteins, hormones, or waste products.

    * Exocytosis: This process involves the fusion of a vesicle with the cell's plasma membrane, releasing its contents into the extracellular space.

    Essentially, exocytosis acts like a cellular "delivery service" that allows the cell to release substances that it has produced or ingested.
