Question

Which of the following processes results in the formation of food vesicle within the cell whose contents will subsequently be digested by enzymes in the lysosome 

a) receptor mediated endocytosis

b) phagocytosis

c) pinocytosis 

d) exocytosis 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

The  processes that results in the formation of food vesicle within the cell whose contents will subsequently be digested by enzymes in the lysosome.

Lysosomes are also known as suicidal bag or scavenger of cell.It is present in animal cell.In plant cells it's function is carried out by vacuoles and spaherosomes.It contains 40-50 types of hydrolytic enzymes.pH of lysosomal content is 4-6.5.All enzymes in lysosomes work best at acidic pH.This reduces the risk of digesting their own cells in case they escape from the lysosome.
