A particle of food encounters a series of cellular structures during digestion by an animal cell.In what order does this encounter occur, starting from the exterior of the cell?
A) Cell membrane $\rightarrow$ phagosome $\rightarrow$primary lysosome $\rightarrow$secondary lysosome
B) Phagosome$\rightarrow$ secondary lysosome $\rightarrow$primary lysosome $\rightarrow$cell membrane
C) Secondary lysosome $\rightarrow$ primary lysosome $\rightarrow$phagosome $\rightarrow$ cell membrane
D) Cell membrane $\rightarrow$ primary lysosome $\rightarrow$ secondary lysosome$\rightarrow$phagosome
E) Phagosome $\rightarrow$ cell membrane $\rightarrow$ primary lysosome$\rightarrow$secondary lysosome

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence starts with the cell membrane, where the particle first makes contact with the cell. It is then engulfed to form a phagosome, which fuses with a primary lysosome to form a secondary lysosome where digestion occurs.
