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 are two types of evidence that suggests that evolution has occurred
sashaice [31]
There is evidence that evolution occurred, but nothing is proved for sure. I'm sure you can find the information if you search it on the internet. Sorry, this probably won't be helpful for your question, but please don't hate. I just wanted to tell you that you might want to think about the possibility that there wasn't a big bang, and everything spontaneously appeared, or that everything evolved from a single bacteria or whatever, or that the earth is billions of years old. If you look into it, lots of that evidence isn't even lined up correctly. I believe that there is a creator, who carefully designed everything with love. I know it sounds cheesy, but this creator, or designer who made all of us, is the reason we even celebrate Christmas. Anyway, thanks for reading this, God bless.

Homologous structures can be described as the structures which are similar to one another present in different organisms. These similarities depict that the organisms might have a common ancestor i the past. For example, the forelimb of man, birds, dogs.

Analogous structures can be described as structures in different organisms which perform the same function but might not have a common origin. For example, the wings of bats and birds.
