Hello, I figured your question was missing its options so I went online to find them. Here they are:

The process of phagocytosis involves all of the following EXCEPT :

a. adhesion.

b. secretion of cytotoxins.

c. elimination.

d. vesicle fusion.

e. chemotaxis.

Answer:

The correct answer is: b) secretion of cytotoxins.

Explanation:

Phagocytosis is a mechanism performed by cells in which the plasma membrane engulfs a large particle. Phagocytosis is used by cells in the immune system to ingest pathogens like viruses and bacteria.

Phagocytosis consists of many steps:

activation - the phagocytes that were resting are activated in the inflammatory response when a pathogen enters the body.
chemotaxis - this refers to the process in which the phagocyte moves to the pathogen by following the chemical factors released by these germs.
adhesion - the phagocyte attaches to the pathogen.
ingestion /vesicle fusion - the phagocyte sends pseudopods to engulf the pathogen, and places it in a phagosome, which is an endocytic vesicle. The phagosome and the phagocyte will fuse so the pathogen gets inside.
elimination - the pathogen is destroyed in the phagocyte by the lysosomes present in it.

The secretion of cytotoxins is not a part of the phagocytosis, and is a process exclusive to T cells (leukocytes that lack the ability to phagocyte).

ivanzaharov [21]

The type of communication style that someone would have if they worry about the thoughts and feelings of others rather than their own is passive.

C. passive

Explanation:

4 main communication styles are passive, aggressive, passive-aggressive and assertive. People with a passive communication style find it difficult to express themselves. They usually have the fear that their feelings won’t b respected and tend to behave in a way by considering the feelings of other people while ignoring their own.

Lack of eye contact, poor body gesture etc are the signs of passive communication. The lack of ability to communicate outward often results in passive communicator’s getting misunderstood.
