Multiple Choice

Which of the following is NOT a true statement regarding exocytosis?

It forms intracellular vesicles from inward folding of the plasma membrane.

It requires fusion of vesicles with the plasma membrane.

Verified step by step guidance

Understand the process of exocytosis: Exocytosis is a cellular process where materials are exported out of the cell. It involves the fusion of vesicles with the plasma membrane to release their contents outside the cell.

Identify the key characteristics of exocytosis: It requires energy, typically in the form of ATP, and involves the movement of large molecules or particles, such as proteins or waste, out of the cell.

Analyze the given statements: Compare each statement with the known characteristics of exocytosis. The statement that does not align with these characteristics is likely the incorrect one.

Evaluate the statement about vesicle formation: Exocytosis does not involve the formation of vesicles from the inward folding of the plasma membrane. This process is characteristic of endocytosis, not exocytosis.

Conclude which statement is NOT true: Based on the analysis, the statement 'It forms intracellular vesicles from inward folding of the plasma membrane' is not true for exocytosis, as this describes endocytosis.
