Phagocytosis of microbes by macrophages is enhanced by both the binding of antibodies to the surface of microbes & antibody-mediated opsonization of microbes
What is the function of phagocytosis?
Phagocytosis is the cellular process through which particles bigger than 0.5 m in diameter, such as bacteria, foreign substances, and apoptotic cells, are ingested and eliminated.
- Phagocytosis is found in many different types of cells and is hence an important step for tissue homeostasis.
- However, only specialized cells known as professional phagocytes are capable of high-efficiency phagocytosis.
- Among these specialized cells are macrophages, neutrophils, monocytes, dendritic cells, and osteoclasts.
Phagocytosis occurs in four stages:
I identification of the particle to be swallowed,
ii) activation of the internalization process,
iii) development of a specialized vacuole known as a phagosome,
iv) maturation of the phagosome to turn it into a phagolysosome.
Hence, the correct option is A

Answer:
b. The rigid cell walls limit how far plant cells can expand and exert a back pressure to limit further water uptake.
Explanation:
Plant cells have a rigid cell wall made of cellulose. Animal cells lack a cell wall.
When the plant cells are placed in a hypotonic solution, water enters into the cells and the cells expand. However, after a certain limit, the cell wall exerts wall pressure on the contents of the cell and does not allow it to take more water in. The wall pressure from the cell wall of plant cells protects them against bursting when placed in a hypotonic solution.
Animal cells burst out due to intake of water by osmosis when placed in a hypotonic solution. They do not have a cell wall to protect them from bursting.
Answer:
c. In the bonds between the atoms
Explanation:
The energy in a sucrose molecule is stored in the bonds between the atoms.

Answer:
A) Cell Division
Explanation:
When someone has cancer their cells grow abnormally and spread very fast ( which is bad because these cells have cancer in them which spread around your body it’s why most people who are in late stages of cancer usually develop it in other places) . Normal body cells grow and divide and know to stop growing. Over time, they also die. Unlike these normal cells, cancer cells just continue to grow and divide out of control and don't die when they're supposed to.
Cancer cells usually group or clump together to form tumors.
Explanation:
Recombinant DNA technology enables us to change the physiology of a cell. Through this, we can produce many humanoid enzymes in other organisms... For example insulin.
