Answer:

Exocytosis: a process by which the contents of a cell vacuole are released to the exterior through fusion of the vacuole membrane with the cell membrane.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exocytosis is the process by which a large amount of molecules are released; thus it is a form of bulk transport. In exocytosis, membrane-bound secretory vesicles are carried to the cell membrane, and their contents (i.e., water-soluble molecules) are secreted into the extracellular environment.
