Question
The Secretion of enzymes from the pancreas is a form of exocytosis.
Correct Answer
Option A is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
This statement is true. Exocytosis is the process by which cells expel materials in secretory vesicles. Pancreatic acinar cells produce digestive enzymes, which are packaged into vesicles. When the cell receives the appropriate signal, these vesicles fuse with the plasma membrane, releasing their enzyme contents into the pancreatic duct to be transported to the small intestine.
Hint
Is the process of releasing large molecules from a cell by fusing a vesicle with the membrane?
