The following is a list of steps involved in the process of phagocytosis. Which of the following answers indicates these steps in the CORRECT order? 1. Lysosome fuses with the vesicle containing a foreign cell. 2. Wastes from the foreign cell are removed. 3. Foreign cell is surrounded by the cell membrane of the phagocyte. 4. Lysosomal enzymes break down the foreign cell. 5. Foreign cell is contained within a vesicle.

Place the steps of phagocytosis in order from first to last: Items in order First: Bacterium binds to the surface of phagocytic cell. 1: Phagocyte pseudopods extend and engulf the organism. 2: Invagination of phagocyte membrane traps the organism within a phagosome. 3: A lysosome fuses and deposits enzymes into the phagosome. 4: Enzymes cleave macromolecules and generate reactive oxygen, destroying the organism.

Primary lysosome fuses with the phagosome, creating a secondary lysosome. The particle is engulfed by an invagination of the cell membrane, forming a phagosome. Undigested remnants of the particle are expelled from the cell by exocytosis. Digestive enzymes break macromolecules in the particle down into monomers. Small nutrient molecules such as sugars and amino acids are transported into the cytoplasm by facilitated diffusion.

Phagocytosis is the process by which large particles are transported into the cell. It occurs in the amoeba when they are feeding and in your own cells when they are destroying foreign invaders. Place the steps of phagocytosis in correct order: A vacuole is formed when the cell membrane encloses and isolates the particle from the rest of the cytoplasm. Pseudopods surround and engulf the food particle. A lysosome binds with the food vacuole, releasing digestive enzymes. An exocytic vesicle releases the undigested material.
