Can Bacteria carry out phagocytosis? Explain:
Solution
Bacteria cannot carry out phagocytosis, all prokaryotes are very very small and have cell walls.
They have many methods of transport across the cell wall and cell membrane, but not "bulk
transport" through any kind of endocytosis. When eukaryotes do this, they bring in the outside
material into a vesicle which then merges with a lysosome. For example, if bacteria were to bring
in outside material, they would need a way to release it or merge it with another vesicle, but
prokaryotes don't have any organelles or vesicles. Having said all that, there are weird
exceptions to almost everything and hence there can be a possiblity of phagocytosis
documentation in prokaryotes at some point in the future.
