Jared Payne · Answer 1

Exocytosis

Explanation:

Exocytosis refers to a cellular process in which the large molecules are transported out of the cell by the membrane-bound vesicles.

The process of exocytosis is an active process and is therefore driven by the ATP. The process of exocytosis is possible because of the fusion of the secretory vesicle with the plasma membrane which leads to the release of the material outside of the cell.

Thus, exocytosis is the correct answer.
