5.2 Phagocytosis Flashcards
1
Q
process of phagocytosis
A
- pathogen produces chemical that the phagocyte is attracted to
= phagocyte receptors bind to it - phagocyte engulfs it forming a phagosome
- lysosomes bind to it
= release lysozymes and hydrolyse it - soluble products are reabsorbed back into phagocytes cytoplasm
2
Q
what does the pathogen produce that the phagocyte is attracted to?
A
chemical products
3
Q
what binds to the pathogen during phagocytosis?
A
the phagocytes receptors
4
Q
what forms after the phagocyte engulfs the pathogen?
A
phagosome
5
Q
what binds to the phagosome?
A
lysosome
6
Q
what does the lysosome do during phagocytosis?
A
it hydrolyses the pathogen by releasing lysozymes
7
Q
what happens to the hydrolysed pathogen?
A
the soluble products are reabsorbed into the phagocytes cytoplasm
