Lysosome Formation within the Endomembrane System

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Lysosomes form within the endomembrane system, receiving digestive enzymes that the Golgi apparatus has sorted, tagged, and packaged for them.

Show

A macrophage's lysosome uses these Golgi-supplied enzymes to break down an engulfed pathogen, per Bio 0281.

Watch for

This entry places lysosome formation in the endomembrane pathway; its digestive function was already established at Bio 0281.
