A vesicle containing cellular wastes products fuses with the plasma membrane, releasing its contents to the fluid outside a cell.
Exocytosis is the process in which cells release large amounts of waste material. Here is how Prentice Hall Biology described it "The membrane of the vacuole surrounding the material fuses with the cell membrane, forcing the contents out of the cell." This is like a counter part of endocytosis, the process by which cells take in materials from outside the cell.

How so you you the scientific word exocytosis in a sentence?
It is exocytosis
What is a example sentence for exocytosis?
Membrane-bound secretory vesicles are carried to the cell membrane by exocytosis.
When the contents of a vesicle are released by the cell?
When the content of a vesicle are released by the cell
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 molecules use exocytosis?
Large molecules use exocytosis =D
Which vesicular transport methods expels material from the cell?
Exocytosis
How do vacuoles release waste from cell?
The process by which a cell expels wastes from a vesicle is exocytosis. Exocytosis is the opposite process of endocytosis since it involves moving items outside to the extracellular space.
What rides the cell of material by discharging it from sacs at the cell surface?
peanut butter ...Thats a nice answer but no. Its exocytosis.
What is an everyday analogy for exocytosis?
exocytosis is where products fuse out of the cells eg secretion
Active transport process by which materials are secreted or expelled from a cell?
exocytosis not glycolysis because glycolysis is the making of glucose
