What will be an ideal response?
Phagocytosis is a type of endocytosis in which a cell ingests large particles such as bacteria, dead body cells, or parts of cells.
1 ) Particles, such as a bacterium, bind to a receptor in the phagocyte's plasma membrane.
2 ) Pseudopods surround the bacterium.
3 ) The pseudopods form an endocytic vesicle and form a phagosome in the cytosol.
4 ) The phagosome fuses with a lysosome and the bacterium is digested.
