Problem: Phagocytosis and the ultimate digestion of the material that is phagocytosed involves all of the following EXCEPT:A. lysosomesB. cytoskeletal movementC. enzyme activityD. synaptic signaling

FREE Expert Solution

Phagocytosis is an example of endocytosis, a cell mechanism in which molecules and particulate matter are taken in by the cell through formation of vesicles in the plasma membrane. In this process, a particle is taken in through an extended pseudopodia that wraps around and packages a particle into the food vacuole.
