Answer: exocytosis

Step-by-step explanation:

- When molecules are too large or too charged to cross the plasma membrane by diffusion or osmosis, they use vesicular transport, also known as exocytosis. In vesicular transport/exocytosis, vesicles allow large molecules to exit the cell because the vesicle fuses with the plasma membrane and its contents spill out.

hope this helps :)
