Answer 1

Answer:

a. Monocytes

Explanation:

Monocytes

It is the agranulocytes and are capable of amoeboid movement and phagocytosis .

The main function of monocyte is as follows -

• The main function of monocyte is phagocytosis , antigen presentation and the production of cytokinin .

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-Monocytes

Explanation:

Agranular leukocytes are the leukocytes which contain very few numbers of granules in their cytosol. Agranular leukocytes are marked by the simple nucleus.

The agranulocyte which shows its effect by the amoeboid movement and phagocytosis are called monocytes. Monocytes help the body to get rid of the pathogen by the phagocytosis action which engulfs the debris and the pathogen and moving in amoeboid movement.

Thus, monocytes are the correct answer.
