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.

PLEASE SOMEONE AWNSER THIS FOR REALLLL PLEASEEEEE
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

It is pertinent to understand what hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solution means before setting out to explain how a cell reaches equilibrium in each type of solution.

A hypertonic solution is one whose solute concentration is higher than that of the sap of a cell that is immersed in it.

A hypotonic solution is one with the same solute concentration as that of the sap of the cell immersed in it.

An isotonic solution has a lower solute concentration than that of the sap of the cell immersed in it.

In biological systems, water molecules move by osmosis from the region of higher water potential or lower concentration of solutes to the region of lower water potential or higher concentration of solute. An equilibrium is reached when there is no net movement of water between two sides. Hence;

A cell placed in a hypertonic solution will lose water to the surrounding solution until an equilibrium is reached. This means that such a cell will end up shrinking (wilting) or even dying due to loss of water from the cell sap.

A cell placed in a hypotonic solution will gain water from the surrounding solution until there is no net movement of water anymore. Such a cell might become turgid or even burst out its cell content.

A cell placed in an isotonic solution will neither gain nor lose water because the cell sap and the surrounding solution have equal solute concentrations.

Why is it important that individuals accurately report the procedures and results from experiments
Zolol [24]
It is important since it will affect the credibility and reliability of the experiment or the said study. It is vital aspect in every research since many studies are subject to replication in order to validate and verify the said study. This repeatability will increase the impression of the study of its consistency and direct implications, having a stronger sources and results.

<span>Research method is always used to answer every scientific inquiry and in gaining evidential data or knowledge. The scientific method has the following process or at least undergoes the process of
1. Observation</span> 
2. Hypothesis 
3. Experimentation 
4. Interpretation of data 
5. Evaluating the data 
<span>6. Passing and recording the data </span>
