Question

Many cells act as phagocytosis cells, they ingest or eat small bacteria or pieces of food. These cells, such as some of our immune cells, employ ______ to degrade (digest) their phagocytosed particles A) liposomes B) Golgi apparatus C) lysosomes D) cytoskeletal proteins Many cells act as phagocytosis cells, they ingest or eat small bacteria or pieces of food. These cells, such as some of our immune cells, employ ______ to degrade (digest) their phagocytosed particles A) liposomes B) Golgi apparatus C) lysosomes D) cytoskeletal proteins A) liposomes B) Golgi apparatus C) lysosomes D) cytoskeletal proteins

Explanation / Answer

Ans: Lysosomes.

Phagocytosis is cellular eating, In this process some living cells (phagocytes) ingest or engulf other cells or particles.

The phagocyte may be free living unicellular organisms like amoeba, or one of the body cells, such as a white blood cell.

Phagocytes digest these particles by merging the food vacuole in which they are enclosed with a lysosome comprising digestive enzymes.

And Lysosomes are employed to degrade their phagocytosed particles.
