We first encountered phagocytosis in concept 7.5, but it plays an important role in the immune systems of both invertebrates and
andre [41]

Phagocytosis is when a cell encloses a particle completely to form  a phagosome. The process was originally evolved for the acquisition of nutrients by certain specialised cells. In multicellular animals, the process has been adapted to form a part of the immune system. Here, debris and pathogens are ingested by a macrophage, which then fuses with a lysosome to form a phagolysosome. Here, enzymes and toxic peroxides digest the pathogen.

________ reactions require energy to synthesize large molecules from small molecules.
denis-greek [22]

Catabolic reactions use energy to synthesize large molecules from small molecules.

<h3>What is a catabolic reaction?</h3>

The Catabolic reaction is the action of the set of metabolic pathways that breaks down molecules into smaller units that are either oxidized to release energy or used in other anabolic reactions. Catabolic reactions are a type of metabolic reaction that takes place within a cell. An example of a catabolic reaction is the process of food digestion, where different enzymes break down food particles, so they can be absorbed by the small intestine.

What are possible benefits of studying Biology?
IRINA_888 [86]
Science means to know. Biology is the study of living things.
You understand a lot more of the function of the body (EMT, healthcare, diseases, etc.)
animals (veterinary work,etc.) You will understand the intro into genetics, and the ways in which the sun and plants directly influences our entire world.
Biology is a form of science that is pretty broad, and at the same time a form of science you can use in every day life of understanding the basic things that happen around you (in culture, family, news, environment, behavioural, etc.)
Biology is also a great way to get your feet wet into basic science- a launching pad for chemistry, physics, etc. Hope this helped. :)
