Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The vesicle containing material taken into the cell by phagocytosis is called a phagosome. A phagosome fuses with a lysosome to form a phagolysosome, where the material is digested. Option A is incorrect because a phagocytosome is not a commonly used term in cell biology. Option B is incorrect because vacuolosome is not a known cellular structure. Option D is incorrect because a phagolysosome is formed by the fusion of a phagosome with a lysosome. Option E is incorrect because exosomes are vesicles that are secreted by cells, and not involved in phagocytosis.
