Question

Which of the following best describes the eating of a bacterium by a lysosome?
A) Differentiation
B) Phagocytosis
C) Meiosis

Phagocytosis is the process by which cells engulf and internalize solid particles, such as bacteria, into membrane-bound structures called phagosomes. Lysosomes then fuse with the phagosome, releasing enzymes that digest the engulfed particles.
