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.

Which version of the sentence below most clearly describes a joyful moment of hard-earned success? i clutched the certificate ti
kirza4 [7]

<em>Answer: "the certificate, with its glowing gold and crimson seal, felt like a blazing sword lighting the path before me."</em>

Out of all the sentences, this is the one that has both elements of joy and of accomplishment. It also contains a promise for the future.

The first sentence conveys some nervousness and anxiety, not joy. The second one, though it has some joy on the side of the family, still conveys nervousness. The third one shows joy fully. However, it does not portray the certificate in a good light. It feels "heavy." It does not imply happiness or hope for the future.
