Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phagocytosis is the process by which a cell engulfs large particles such as bacteria or cellular debris. This is done through the cell membrane extending and engulfing the particle, forming a phagosome, which is then fused with a lysosome for digestion. Therefore, choice A best describes phagocytosis. Choices B, C, and D do not accurately describe the process.
