Osmosis is not fusion, and the only way it could be considered to be that is if someone wasn't paying close enough attention when it was being explained.

How do larger molecules move across epithelial membranes in the capillaries?

Large molecules are transported across a cell membrane by the process of process of exocytosis. This is when secretory vesicles secretes large molecules by the fusion of vesicles with the plasma membrane.


Does exocytosis require fusion of vesicles with the plasma membrane?

no


What moves large amounts of material across the cell membrane?

Through fusion with the cell membrane, vesicles transport large molecules and material in a process called exocytosis.

What is exoctosis?

Did you mean exocytosis? if so, the definition is a process by which the contents of a cell vacuole are released to the exterior through fusion of the vacuole membrane with the cell membrane.

What is excytosis?

Exocytosis is a process by which the contents of a cell vacuole are released to the exterior. This is done so through fusion of the vacuole membrane with the cell membrane.


What are special doorways in the cell membrane?

Proteins are too large to move across the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane so therefore require help getting into (or out of) the cell. Proteins may be brought across the cell membrane by endocytosis - they may then be broken down into amino acid building blocks (by fusion of the endocytotic vesicles with the proteolytic enzyme containing lysosomes) which can then be used by the cell or moved out of the cell by transmembrane transport proteins.


What rides the cell of material by discharging it from sacs at the cell surface?

What forms a central vacuole?

Vacuoles are formed by the fusion of multiple membrane vesicles and are effectively just larger forms of these.
