A large carbohydrate is tagged with a fluorescent marker and placed in the extracellular environment around a macrophage. The macrophage ingests the carbohydrate via phagocytosis. Which cellular structure is most likely to be fluorescently labeled upon viewing with a light microscope soon after phagocytosis

Respuesta :

Answer:

Digestive vacuole

Explanation:

Phagocytosis consists of the encompassing of particles by the cell membrane (through the pseudopods), and brought into the cell.

These particles will stay inside a digestive vacuole, which will digest the particle using lysosomes, giving more energy to the cell.

Bearing in mind that the carbohydrate with the fluorescent marker, in the whole process, will spend more time being digested by the macrophage, the structure that will be more fluorescently labeled will be the digestive vacuole.
