Question

A cell has formed a food vacuole as it ingested a food particle. Which of the following events is associated with the breakdown of that food particle?
Proteins for digestion of the food are made by ribosomes in the Golgi apparatus.
Digestion of the food particle occurs in a vesicle enclosed by a membrane that separates the digestion from the cytoplasm.
Proteins for digestion of the food particle were initially processed in mitochondria.
The membrane of the food vacuole is derived from the cell wall.
Enzymes for the breakdown of the food are delivered to the food vacuole from the cytosol.

Answer 1

Answer:

Digestion of the food particle occurs in a vesicle enclosed by a membrane that separates the digestion from the cytoplasm

Explanation:

A food vacuole is a membrane-enclosed sac in a cell which is formed by the ingestion of the food particle from the outside environment through the process of phagocytosis.

The formation of food vacuole is a feature of the protozoa like amoeba which engulfs its food.

The food vacuole then fuses with the lysosome present in the cell which contains the digestive enzyme and then forms phagolysosomes which can digest the food particles in an enclosed sac.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.
