What are lysomes help the white blood cells do their job?
Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes within a cell. When a white blood cell engulfs a bacterium, the lysosome will merge with the vesicle containing the bacterium and digest it.
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.
How does white blood cell kill a bacterium?
lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) produce antibodies which will attach themselves to foreign particles. so a detected bacterium will have many antibodies surrounding it and stuck to it. antibodies which have attached themselves to the bacterium will send a signal to the phagocytes (another type of white blood cell) to come and 'eat'. so the phagocytes will engulf the bacterium, and secrete lysozyme (an enzyme which cuts up everything that comes into contact with it) to digest the bacterium, killing it. thank you for that :poopyloopy dark orbit.
What cell can digest an ingured cell?

Red blood cell
What happens to worn out white blood cell?

What if you have no white blood cells?
Then you are guaranteed to die as white blood cells make up your immune system. The tiniest bacterium/virus/fungus/mutated cell would thrive immediately and you would die just as fast.
