Explanation

When a phagocytic vacuole fuses with enzyme-filled vesicles from the Golgi apparatus, the resulting vesicles responsible for digesting engulfed particles are called secondary lysosomes. Primary lysosomes contain enzymes but have not yet fused with the phagosome. The food vacuole or phagosome is the initial vesicle containing the ingested material.
