Answer: The purpose of the respiratory burst is most likely to provide energy for the rapid acidification of phagosomes via proton pumps

Explanation:

Bacteria is known to be a single celled organism, without nucleus and organelles but cell wall, therefore, they should be usually exposed quickly to acidic conditions following phagocytosis. Failing to abide by that could simply lead to replication within the phagosome and hence cause lysis of the immune cells. Macrophages can get their phagosomes acidified to pH level of ~1.5.

A ball is rolled down an inclined plane at different angles.If the angle between the inclined plane and the ground increases wha
alexandr402 [8]

The inclined plane is studied by mechanics and, to calculate it, we use Newton's Second Law.

Is a block of mass “m” supported by an inclined ramp at an angle? with respect to the horizontal plane. Despise the friction.

Forces acting on the body are:  image 1

P: Force weight = P = m.g

Where: g = 9,8 m / s2

m = body mass given in kg.

FN: Normal reaction force to the plane.

When we neglect friction we notice that the body moves downwards. image 2
