Answer: The phagocyte’s ability to destroy the ingested pathogen is compromised and it will become inactive.
Explanation:
There are different hydrolytic enzymes. Lysozyme attacks cell walls of gram positive bacteria. Elastase is a protease. Collagenase attacks collagen, produced by some bacteria. Plasminogen activator is also a protease.
Loss of function of any one of these enzymes will reduce or prevent the breakdown of bacteria in the phagosome (vacuole) so that the phagocyte is inactivated.
heightened temperatures can cause enzymes to work more quickly whereas if the temperature gets too high the enzyme stops working, If the temperature around an enzyme gets too high, the enzyme loses its shape, which is known as denaturation, and will eventually stop working
Hope this helps this is what I used when I studied this
