Based on these data, what is the most likely function of the cells in this experiment? detoxification muscle contraction secretion phagocytosis

Solution

Answer: d. phagocytosis

Reason:

The pulse chase experiment has clearly indicating that the movement of secretory protein with amino acid peptide chains from ER to Golgi followed by lysosomes in a extremely high in number (at 60 minutes-112; at 120 minutes- 151). So that, the radiolabelled amino acids gets incorporated in the proteins synthesized which are also radiolabelled because of presence of radiolabelled amino acids at the time of phagocytosis, cells have been expressing high amount of lysosomal enzymes to degrade foreign pathogens.
