Answer:

Phagolysosomal fusion

Explanation:

Macrophages ingest the bacteria through a process called phagocytosis. The phagosome undergoes a series of acidification steps where it fuses with endosomal compartments and encounters  bactericidal and antigen processing molecules. Ultimately, it will fuse with the lysosome (phagolysosomal fusion) where it encounters more acidification, hydrolases and bactericidal molecules which may kill the bacteria.

Energy was added to the molecule. What processes would occur in the cell to add this energy?
lisov135 [29]
In order for energy to be able to be created, ATP(adenosine triphosphate) needs to form in either photosynthesis or krebs cycle from ADP + P(from NADPH). When ATP is available, huge amounts of energy are released when needed by slicing one P atom from ATP So that it can again become ADP and undergo lots of processes to become ATP again. So energy is added from tearing of Phosphate Atom due to tearing of phosphoanhydride bonds. This is possible because of process known as hydrolysis, when ATP is in equilibrium with water and some electrons. And the process of ADP becoming ATP is recharging and occurs in mitochondria.

The processes are hydrolysis and rechargeation, but most important process is Krebs Cycle, where all of this happens.
