What happens when an individual suffers a bacterial infection in his legs?

Biology

The best answer is C.

When an individual suffers a bacterial infection in the legs, immune proteins called acute phase proteins  bind to the surface of the bacteria by a process called opsonisation.

Opsonised bacteria are therefore coated with molecules (self antigens) that phagocytic cells recognize. Activated phagocytes  engulf and destroy opsonized  bacteria by "swallowing "  (engulfing) them.

Inside the phagocyte, enzymes break down the bacteria onto small fragments just the way food is broken down by enzymes in the digestive system. Phagocytes then present the fragments on their surface which helps in the final destruction of the bacteria within the phagocyte.

what cellular mechanisms allow human body cells to maintain these concentrations ?
sweet [91]
Answer:


Active transport: movement against a gradient To move substances against a concentration or electrochemical gradient, a cell must use energy. Active transport mechanisms do just this, expending energy (often in the form of ATP) to maintain the proper concentrations of ions and molecules in living cells.
