Steps in a phagocytic cell destroying an invading microorganism include
A) chemotaxis → adherence → ingestion → digestion
B) finding → filtering → secreting enzymes → streptolysin
C) chemotaxis → granuloma → adherence → histamine
D) finding → invading → clotting → regulating temperature

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The steps in phagocytosis include chemotaxis (movement towards the microorganism), adherence (binding to the microorganism), ingestion (engulfing the microorganism), and digestion (breaking down the microorganism). Option B is incorrect as filtering and secreting enzymes are not phagocytic processes. Option C is incorrect as granuloma and histamine are not specific steps in phagocytosis. Option D is incorrect as invading and clotting are not necessarily phagocytic processes, and regulating temperature is not a step in phagocytosis.
