Which kind of bulk transport do white blood cells use to engulf bacteria?

White blood cells use a process called phagocytosis to engulf and destroy bacteria. During phagocytosis, the white blood cell extends its pseudopodia around the bacteria, forming a phagosome that contains the invader. The phagosome then merges with lysosomes to form a phagolysosome, where enzymes break down the bacteria.


What type of white blood cells make antibodies?

There are two types of white blood cell. The kind which secrete antibodies to kill microbes are called lymphocytes. The other type, which engulf microorganisms, are called phagocytes.*Specifically, the type of lymphocyte (white blood cell) that produces antibodies would be plasma cells. After a B cell (a type of lymphocyte) undergoes clonal selection, the result is the formation of a clone of B cells that consists of plasma cells and memory B cells. Plasma cells secrete antibodies and memory B cells do not secrete antibodies.
