During which process is the surface area of the cell membrane increased?
Correct answer: A. Exocytosis
- A. Exocytosis
- B. Pyrolysis
- C. Phagocytosis
- D. Endocytosis
Explanation
Exocytosis is a process by which the contents of a cell vacuole are released to the exterior through the fusion of the vacuole membrane with the cell membrane. This fusion increases the surface area of the membrane. During phagocytosis or endocytosis, a portion of the cell membrane is used up in making the vesicle.
