Question

increases the surface area of the plasma membrane, requires fusion of vesicles with the plasma membrane, requires cellular energy, transported substances never physically cross the plasma membrane, secretes large molecules out of the cell, forms vesicles from inward folding of the plasma membrane, decreases the surface area of the plasma membrane, exocytosis, endocytosis, both

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Exocytosis is the process by which a cell releases large - molecules out of the cell by fusing vesicles with the plasma membrane, increasing the surface area of the plasma membrane. Endocytosis is the process where the cell takes in substances by forming vesicles from the inward - folding of the plasma membrane, decreasing the surface area of the plasma membrane. Both processes require cellular energy and the transported substances never physically cross the plasma membrane.

Answer:

Exocytosis: Increases the surface area of the plasma membrane, requires fusion of vesicles with the plasma membrane, secretes large molecules out of the cell
Endocytosis: Forms vesicles from inward folding of the plasma membrane, decreases the surface area of the plasma membrane
Both: Requires cellular energy, transported substances never physically cross the plasma membrane
