Are use by white blood cells to digest and destroy bacteria?
I think Lysosomes.
What happens to white blood cells if lysosomes rupture?
The main functions of the lysosomes is to get rid of the bacteria and virus and to digest the food particles. If the lysosomes rupture the count of thaw white blood cells will reduce because some will be consumed by the deadly viruses and bacteria.
What is the name of the blood cell that destroys germs in the body?
A type of cell that can destroy bacteria is called a 'Phagocyte' It contains lysosomes (Organelles containing digestive enzymes) The Phagocyte moves towards the bacteria and 'traps' the bacteria by forming a vacuole around it. Some lysosomes move towards and fuse with the vacuole. The bacteria is then digested by the enzymes contained by the lysosomes. The Breakdown products then pass into the cytoplasm of the phagocyte.
What blood cells kills bacteria?
You Must mean White blood cells. White blood cells kill bacteria by first engulfing them, this process i believe is called phagocytocis. They literally eat the bacteria and digest it.
What is the function blood cell?
The combat of disease through phagocytosis (the engulfing of the bacterial cells through changing of the shape of the membrane) which encloses the bacteria within the white blood cell, where there are lysosomes containing enzymes which break down the bacteria.
Are use by white blood cells to digest and destroy bacteria?
I think Lysosomes.
1. In which type of cells would you expect there to be an abundance of lysosomes?
White blood cells contain the most lysosomes in the entire body. White blood cells need the extra lysosomes for the bacteria that they ingest.
What organelles enable white blood cells to digest and destroy bacteria are?
lysosomes
What happens to white blood cells if lysosomes rupture?
The main functions of the lysosomes is to get rid of the bacteria and virus and to digest the food particles. If the lysosomes rupture the count of thaw white blood cells will reduce because some will be consumed by the deadly viruses and bacteria.
What cellular organelles helps White Blood Cells breakdown the bacteria and viruses?
lysosomes
The organelles that enable white blood cells to ingest and destroy bacteria are?
Lysosomes (this is for a biology final?)

What organelles are important to a white blood cell?
Ribosomes is the wrong answer! The correct answer is LYSOSOMES
Where does lysosomes appear most in the human body?
In white blood cells

What blood cells fight pathogens?
White blood cells fight infection while the red blood cells carry blood to your heart.
