Answer:

Membrane Exocytosis

Step-by-step explanation:

It increases PM Area during Cell Spreading. It is found that the total cell surface area increased by about 20% through exocytosis during cytokinesis. The furrowing observed during cytokinesis was indispensable for the cell membrane increase, and vice versa.
