Here's why:
* Exocytosis is the process where a cell releases substances, like hormones, waste products, or neurotransmitters, from inside the cell to the outside environment. This happens through the fusion of vesicles (small membrane-bound sacs) with the cell membrane, releasing their contents into the extracellular space.
* Other processes like diffusion, osmosis, and active transport can involve movement in either direction - into or out of the cell - depending on the concentration gradient or the type of substance being transported.
