Best Answer

it is a part of the origin of eukaryotes by a process called endosymbiosis. The engulfed prokaryotic cells later became mitochondria and chloroplast in today's living organisms Campbell and Reece; Biology, 7th edition

What are facts about phagocytosis?

Lysosomes are found in the phagosome which are involved in digesting the bacteria once engulfed. The phagosome has c3b receptors which bind to the antibodies on the bacteria.


What would happen to an engulfed bacterium if it never contacted a digestive vacuole?

If an engulfed bacterium did not come into contact with a digestive vacuole, the phagocytosis would not be possible. Phagocytosis destroys bacteria to help keep us healthy.


How mitochondria or chloroplasts evolved?

Endosymbiotic theory describes the evolution of mitochondria and chloroplast.According to it,photosynthetic bacteria and aerobic bacteria engulfed by a eukaryotic cell turned into chloroplast and mitochondria.


What does complement do?

Complement plays several functions in immunity. It can poke holes in bacteria, kill bacteria that are first targeted by antibodies, or, working with antibodies, point out which bacteria need to be engulfed by white blood cells.

What is thought to be the descendants of engulfed ancient bacteria?

Organelles in the body cells call mitochondria are thaught to be engulfed ancient bacteria. They have their own DNA and are often called "cellular power plants" because they generate most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).They are always inherited form the mother and can be used to trace maternal lineage and evolution.


Why were the S bacteria not the R bacteria virulent?

The S bacteria are surrounded by a capsule, so it is not engulfed by the host's white blood cells. That means that it is able to proliferate and spread. The R bacteria lack the capsule (like the mutant S bacteria), so the white blood cells are able to detect and eliminate them.
