What are the benefits and drawbacks of phagocytosis?
The main benefit of phagocytosis is that it is a natural defense against bacterial infection. Drawbacks are that you can get coiling phagocytosis and it could destroy good bacteria.

When does Phagocytosis occur?

What is he process whereby cells ingest and destroy bacteria within the body called?

What does the lysosmoe do in the animal cell?
Preforms phagocytosis, the eating of endocytotic food, and autophagy, the digestion of worn cell parts, and immune defense as white blood cells carry many lysosomes. All done with hydrolytic enzymes.
What are the body's three lines of defence in relation to infection?
Mucous membranes, phagocytosis, immune response.
Which of the innate defense mechanism can lyse bacteria and mark cells for phagocytosis?
complement proteins.
What is the most likely function of the cells in a pulse-chase experiment?
