Explanation:
Phagocytosis, describes the mechanism by which cells engulf large particles into compartments in the cell called phagosomes.
The steps of phagocytosis in order:
- Chemotaxis of phagocyte to microbe occurs.
- Phagocyte adheres or attaches to microbe.
- Pseudopods of the phagocyte engulf and internalize the microbe, forming a phagosome.
- Lysosome fuses with the phagosome, forming phagolysosome.
- Digestion of microbe occurs within phagolysosome.
- Indegistible material is discharged.
Further Explanation:
While cells facilitate the transport of molecules via movement across the cell membrane, there many different mechanisms. These include passive diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active and passive transport. However some very large molecules require specialized type of active transport in order to move across the membrane this includes endocytosis and exocytosis.
During endocytosis large molecules cells and cell fragments moved across the plasma membrane through a process of invagination; piece of the external cell membrane falls into itself and forms a small pocket that surrounds the target molecule, this breaks off from the membrane to form an intracellular vesicle. Different methods of endocytosis such as Phagocytosis, Pinocytosis and receptor-mediated endocytosis, take in cells, water and targeted substances respectively. During phagocytosis, cells engulf large particles into compartments in the cell called phagosomes, after which they are broken down by specialnlysosomes containing enzymes.
In exocytosis, large particles (proteins, neurotransmitters, waste material etc.) are surrounded by a phospholipid membrane in a vesicle. However, this membrane is formed in the cytoplasm, and attaches to the plasma membrane’s interior in a process opposite to endocytosis; material is removed from the cell and exported into the cell’s exterior called the extracellular space.
