Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Small pseudopods that extend from the plasma membrane and surround the adherent microorganism,forming an intracellular phagocytic vacuole or phagosome,carry out engulfment (endocytosis).The membrane that surrounds the phagosome consists of inverted plasma membrane.After the formation of the phagosome,lysosomes converge,fuse with the phagosome,and discharge their contents,creating a phagolysosome.
