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.

Answer:

The CORRECT order is: 3, 5, 1, 4, 2. "A foreign cell is surrounded by the cell membrane of the phagocyte and contained within a vesicle. A lysosome fuses with the vesicle containing a foreign cell. Lysosomal enzymes break down the foreign cell, and the wastes from the foreign cell are removed".

Explanation:

When a cell called phagocyte is going to incorporate a new solid substance, such as a bacteria, the process involved is called phagocytosis. Phagocytosis is a function of specialized immunological system cells that are capable of removing strange bodies from the immune system as a first natural defense line. The membrane of the phagocyte invaginates and surrounds the strange body, which is trapped and included in an endocytic vesicle called phagosome. This vesicle often fusses a lysosome which liberates its enzymes into the phagosome. These enzymes are in charge of digesting or destroying the strange content. After that, the produced wastes are removed from the cell.
