lysosomes
During endocytosis a vesicle may fuse with a lysosome how would that help the cell digest the food particles?
Phagocytosis is a process where specialized immune cells called phagocytes engulf and digest foreign particles, such as bacteria or debris, to protect the body from infection and maintain tissue health. Phagocytes recognize the foreign particles through specific receptors on their cell surface, engulf them into a vesicle called a phagosome, and then fuse this vesicle with lysosomes containing enzymes to break down the ingested material. The digested particles are then eliminated from the body.
A lysosome is a membrane-bound organelle in animal cells that contains various hydrolytic enzymes. Its main function is to break down cell waste and debris, as well as to digest ingested bacteria and viruses. This process helps to maintain cellular homeostasis and remove harmful substances.
This is a neutrophil.
Phagocytosis is the process that involves the engulfing of particles by cells, particularly immune cells like macrophages and neutrophils. During phagocytosis, the cell membrane surrounds and engulfs the particles, forming a vesicle called a phagosome that allows the cell to digest and eliminate the material.
Phagocytosis is the process by which a cell engulfs large particles or whole cells, either as a defense mechanism or as a means to obtain food. A phagocyte is a cell that ingests and destroys foreign matter or microorganisms.
Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles in cells that contain enzymes capable of digesting excess food particles, waste materials, and foreign invaders through a process called autophagy. These enzymes break down the materials into simpler compounds that can be recycled or expelled from the cell.
These immune cells are called phagocytes, such as macrophages and neutrophils. They recognize and engulf foreign particles through a process called phagocytosis, where the invader is enclosed in a vesicle and broken down by enzymes. This is a critical mechanism for removing pathogens and maintaining the body's defense against infections.
Lysosomes digest the excess food particles in a cell, and they also protect it from foreign invaders.
The Pillows Special Digest Sampler was created in 1996.
you dont digest bacteria
