Solution

The answer is c. vesicle.

Step 1: Understand the question. The question is asking for the type of fusion with the plasma membrane that results in exocytosis, which is the process of releasing macromolecules from a cell.

Step 2: Review the answer choices. We have four options: lipid, nuclear, vesicle, and mitochondrial.

Step 3: Recall relevant information. Exocytosis involves the transport of materials from inside the cell to the outside. This process is carried out by vesicles, which are small, membrane-bound compartments within the cell.

Step 4: Match the information with the answer choices. The term that matches with the process described is 'vesicle', making option c the correct answer.

So, the release of macromolecules via vesicle fusion with the plasma membrane is called exocytosis.
