phagocytosis, otherwise known as "cell eating". The cell takes it in by squeezing it through the cell membrane and creating a vesicle
To 'engulf' bacteria if you have an infection
The genetic material from the bacteria will get transfered into the white blood cell and more bacteria will be produced.
white blood cells or immune system....
White blood cells that engulf and destroy bacteria are known as neutrophils. They are a type of phagocyte that play a key role in the immune response against bacterial infections. Neutrophils engulf bacteria through a process known as phagocytosis, helping to eliminate the invading pathogens from the body.
White blood cells eliminate bacteria primarily through phagocytosis and the release of antimicrobial substances. In phagocytosis, certain white blood cells, like macrophages and neutrophils, engulf and digest bacteria by enclosing them in a membrane-bound vesicle. Additionally, white blood cells can release antimicrobial proteins and enzymes that directly kill bacteria or inhibit their growth, contributing to the immune response.
yes they can
Bacteria
blood has 4 components first are ERYTHROCYTES (red blood cells) which contain oxygen to transport all parts of the body. 2nd White blood cells which are of two type they either engulf the bacteria or produce antibodies to kill the bacteria. 3rd Plasma, contains dissolved nutrients like glucose and minerals which are used as a medium to transport it to the inner cells. 4th Platelets , are for blood clot.
Phagocytosis
they "engulf" the bacteria
No, basophils do not engulf and digest bacteria. Basophils are a type of white blood cell that release chemicals like histamine to promote inflammation and help the body defend against parasites and allergens. Phagocytic white blood cells like neutrophils and macrophages are responsible for engulfing and digesting bacteria.
Phagocytosis
To 'engulf' bacteria if you have an infection
White blood cells use a process called phagocytosis to engulf and destroy bacteria that are recognized as not-self by their glycoproteins. During phagocytosis, the white blood cell engulfs the bacteria, forms a phagosome, and then fuses it with lysosomes to break down the bacteria using enzymes.
The genetic material from the bacteria will get transfered into the white blood cell and more bacteria will be produced.
