Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lysosomes are formed by the Golgi complex and are not directly involved in exocytosis. Exocytosis is the process by which cells release substances to the extracellular environment. The other choices are all functions of exocytosis: neurotransmitter secretion allows for communication between neurons, secretion of digestive enzymes in the pancreas helps to break down food, secretion of cell wall materials in plants allows for growth and development, and secretion of waste products helps to rid the cell of unwanted materials.
