What part of the bacterium can protect it from phagocytosis by white blood cells?
The capsule of the bacterium can protect it from phagocytosis by white blood cells. The capsule is a thick, outer layer made of polysaccharides that can make the bacterium difficult to engulf by phagocytes, thus enabling it to evade the immune response.
What are white blood cells called that engulf and destroy bacteria?
exocytosis, phagocytosis,pinocytosis, osmosis,
Which is a method of avoiding phagocytosis?
Inducing phagocytosis.
What is the movement of particles into the cell?
The movement of large particles of solid food or whole cells into the cell is called phagocytosis. Phagocytosis occurs in three separate steps.
Phagocytosis is a form of exocytosis?
No, phagocytosis is a form of endocytosis.
What are considered innate body defenses?
Phagocytosis
Why phagocytosis might be beneficialto single celled organisms?
Phagocytosis is important to single celled organisms because phagocytes protect by destroying dirt and bacteria.
Does phagocytosis mean bad breath?
No. I think you're referring to halitosis. Phagocytosis is the process where cells in your body engulf dead or foreign bodies.
What part of the bacterium can protect it from phagocytosis by white blood cells?
The capsule of the bacterium can protect it from phagocytosis by white blood cells. The capsule is a thick, outer layer made of polysaccharides that can make the bacterium difficult to engulf by phagocytes, thus enabling it to evade the immune response.
Which process provides immunity against antigens and pathogens in the body fluids?
phagocytosis
What are white blood cells called that engulf and destroy bacteria?
exocytosis, phagocytosis,pinocytosis, osmosis,
A defense cell engulfing a bacterium illustrates?
Phagocytosis
What body part ingests microbes?
Well actually, not a body part but the White Blood Cells in the body ingest microbes by the process called phagocytosis. More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phagocytosis Also, lysosome which is found inside a cell has the ability to ingest microbes.
What are the body's three lines of defence in relation to infection?
Mucous membranes, phagocytosis, immune response.
Macrophage main function is?
phagocytosis of damaged cells, pathogens or non-organic material in the body.
An organism with a cell wall would have the most difficulty doing which process?
Phagocytosis.
What does the organs in the immune system do?
they produce white blood cells (leucocytes) which help protect the body against harmful viruses by producing antibodies, and by a process called "phagocytosis" in which the white blood cell completely engulfs the bacteria, making it harmless.
