    Secondary lysosomes digest extracellular material of which is engulfed into the cell by a process called endocytosis. A phagocytic vesicle is pinched off from the cell plasma membrane and encloses the material to be digested. This vesicle fuses with the lysosome to form a phagolysosome complex. The acidic environment denatures macromolecules to increase their surface area for hydrolases to act. Once broken down, the soluble, useful material such as sugars, amino acids and nucleotides are used by the cell as nutrients; they enter the cytosol through the lysosomal membrane by either facilitated diffusion or active transport.…
