What is the attraction of leukocytes?
Chemotaxis
What type of taxis is a bacterial cell exhibiting when it moves toward glucose in the environment?

Is the final step of phagocyte mobilization?
Chemotaxis
What is the final step of phagocyte mobilization?
chemotaxis
What is the significance of chemotaxis to fern reproduction?
Chemotaxis help guide the male sperm of the fern to the female organs of the plant. Malic acid is the key chemotaxi in ferns.
Cellular migration directed by a chemical gradient?
chemotaxis
Which of the following is the correct sequence of events in phagocytosis?
chemotaxis, adherence, ingestion, digestion, killing
How do macrophages replicate?
Macrophages do not replicate. The bone marrow produces Monocytes which when they find a damaged area transform into Macrophages.
Chemotaxis refers to the ability to?
move in response to chemical stimuli.
The movement of leukocytes to the source of certain chemicals is called?
Chemotaxis
The attraction of leukocytes to chemicals released from damaged cells is?
Chemotaxis
