<span>Sheree observed an amoeba feeding by engulfing the prey with its false feet or pseudopods. This process is known as phagocytosis.
The term comes from Greek and means: <em>phagein = to devour, kytos = cell, -osis = process, </em>so it literally means that it refers to a process in which a certain type of a cell (in this case, an amoeba) devours or eats another thing.

Dendritic cells and macrophages kill by ingestion and destruction of particulate matter in a process called phagocytosis. Dendri
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The statement is true

Explanation:

Hematopoietic stem cells give rise to myeloid progenitor and lymphoid progenitor and these two progenitors give rise to many immune cells. Dendritic cells are produced by both the progenitors and macrophages are produced by myeloid progenitor.

Both macrophages and dendritic cells are phagocytes. In phagocytosis, the foreing particles are injected by these phagocytes and they are destryoyed by the action of digestive enzymes present in these phagocytic cells.  

Macrophages are present in tissue and if they are present in blood they are called monocytes. Therefore the statement is true.

We breathe more quickly and deeply when we exercise. Why does this make sense? Select all that apply. a) Because when we exercis
storchak [24]

Answer:

a) Because when we exercise, we hydrolyze more ATP to ADP and Pi, and O2 is necessary for the hydrolysis, so we increase our intake of oxygen.

c) Because when we exercise, we produce more CO2 and increased ventilation is necessary to rid ourselves of CO2.

d) Because when we exercise, we use more ATP, and additional O2 is necessary to generate sufficient ATP.

Explanation:

During exercise , our body needs more energy in the form of ATP. This ATP comes from break down of food materials in the mitochondria of the cell during cellular respiration. With the addition of oxygen, more ATP is produced during respiration and this ATP is used by the body. With ATP, carbon dioxide is produced as a waste material which can be removed by exhaled out during breathing.

A bacterial cell that contains an outer membrane and periplasmic space stains pink to red on Gram stain. Which one of the follow
anastassius [24]

Answer:

a. No discrepancy is present; organisms that contain an outer membrane and periplasmic space should stain pink because of their cell wall composition.

Explanation:

Gram stain is the staining method used to differentiate bacterial species into two groups, gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Factors that will differentiate gram-positive from gram-negative include the coloration of bacteria, the composition and chemical and physical properties of cell walls. In these tests, bacteria that have an outer membrane and a periplasmic space are considered gram negative and pink in color (sometimes similar to red) due to their cellular composition. For this reason we can state that there is no discrepancy present in the bacteria exposed in the question; Because this bacterium has an outer membrane and a periplasmic space, then it is normal for the bacteria to turn pink due to its cell wall composition.
