When a primary lysosome fuses with a food vacuole, it is called which of the following?

✅Explanation:
-When a primary lysosome (a membrane-bound vesicle containing digestive enzymes) fuses with a food vacuole (a membrane-bound vesicle containing engulfed material), the resulting structure is called a secondary lysosome. This fusion triggers the digestive process within the secondary lysosome, where the enzymes break down the engulfed material into its molecular components, which can then be absorbed and used by the cell.
-Phytosome: This term refers to a complex formed between a phytochemical (a plant compound) and a phospholipid carrier, used in drug delivery systems. It is not related to the fusion of lysosomes and food vacuoles.
-Primary lysosome: This is the initial, inactive form of the lysosome before it fuses with a food vacuole.
-Cytosome: This term is not widely used in modern cell biology and can have different meanings depending on the context. It is not a specific term for the product of lysosome-food vacuole fusion.
