Examples of cells that carry out phagocytosis?
phagocytosis occurs in our body when some foreign particle enters inside it, our white blood cells engulf it, and then digest it. it is also how some microorganisms like ameoba get their food. example: white blood cell engulfing a large, liquid protein droplet.
What are phagosomes?
A phagosome is the engulfed particle by the white blood cell during phagocytosis

How do amoebas and white blood cells take in food?
By the process of engulfment Amoebas take in food by phagocytosis, whereby small particles are engulfed by the cell and carried to the cytoplasm. Technically, white blood cells do not "take in food," however, the mechanism by which they engulf microorganisms, cellular debris, or other waste products is phagocytosis as well.
What is the name of the process where a white blood cell engulfs a pathogen?
The process by which white blood cells engulf bacteria is termed phagocytosis. In some organisms, phagocytosis is how food is absorbed.
Phagocytosis is best associated with what type of blood cells?
Monocytes and macrophages are good example of blood cells which cause phagocytosis. They originate from lymphoid stem cells
What is it called when white blood cells eat bacteria?
