Best Answer

Neutrophils are the only granulocytes that phagocytize bacteria. (Granuloctyes include neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils.) Eosinophils do NOT phagocytize (eat); they kill parasidic worms by releasing enzymes and chemicals that create holes in the cells' membranes.

Two types of agranulocytes are lymphocytes and monocytes. Monocytes function in phagocytosis. Also, monocytes turn into macrophages in tissues.

What is the difference between granulocytes and agranulocytes?

there are two main type of white blood cell,granulocyte and agranulocyte.granulocyte are white blood cell that has granule in their cytoplasm and it is visible when staining....the most common granulocyte are neutrophil,which are one of the phagocyte.the granule aid in phagocytosis ..there are three main type of granules in the neutrophil.granule contain lysozyme. agranulocyte is white blood cell which do not have granule in their cytoplasm.exm are the lymphocyte,macrophage. ^^
