Question
which of the following is a vesicle formed by the merger of a food vacuole with a lysosome?
o contractile vacuole
o peroxisome
o phagolysosome
o endoplasmic reticulum
When a food vacuole merges with a lysosome, a phagolysosome is formed. A phagolysosome is used for the digestion of the material taken into the cell via phagocytosis. Endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein and lipid synthesis. Peroxisomes are involved in the breakdown of fatty - acids and the detoxification of hydrogen peroxide. Contractile vacuoles are mainly involved in osmoregulation in single - celled organisms.
