Biology Question on Cell: the unit of life

Heterophagosome is

A

Formed by fusion of food containing phagosome with primary lysosome

B

Newly pinched out vesicle from Golgi apparatus which fuses with endosome to become fully functional

C

Formed by fusion of primary lysosome with degenerating intracellular organelles

D

A lysosome in which only indigestible food material is left

Answer

Formed by fusion of food containing phagosome with primary lysosome

Explanation

Solution

Heterophagosome or secondary lysosome is formed by the fusion of food containing phagosome with primary lysosome (having hydrolytic or digestive enzymes). Digestion occurs which results in the passing of digested food into the cytoplasm and undigested food is left within secondary lysosomes.
