Active transport because the cell must use energy to move large particles across the membrane.

Answer:

Yes, they are both active transport processes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exocytosis describes the process of vesicles fusing with the plasma membrane and releasing their contents to the outside of the cell. Both endocytosis and exocytosis are active transport processes.
