Biology / Unit 2 Bio 0295 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Lysosome Formation within the Endomembrane System
Captions available
The idea
Lysosomes form within the endomembrane system, receiving digestive enzymes that the Golgi apparatus has sorted, tagged, and packaged for them.
In practice
A macrophage's lysosome uses these Golgi-supplied enzymes to break down an engulfed pathogen, per Bio 0281.
Where people slip
This entry places lysosome formation in the endomembrane pathway; its digestive function was already established at Bio 0281.
