NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Phagocytosis consists in recognition and ingestion of particles larger than 0.5 m into a plasma membrane derived vesicle, known as phagosome. Phagocytes can ingest microbial pathogens, but importantly also apoptotic cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Phagocytosis is the process of sensing and taking in particles larger than 0.5 m. The particle is internalized into a distinctive organelle, the phagosome. This phagosome subsequently changes the structure of its membrane and the composition of its contents in a process known as phagosome maturation (3).

Detailed explanation-3: -The process where these white blood cells surround, engulf, and destroy foreign substances is called phagocytosis, and the cells are collectively referred to as phagocytes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Phagocytosis, or “cell eating”, is the process by which a cell engulfs a particle and digests it.

Detailed explanation-5: -Phagocytosis is the process by which a cell engulfs and internalizes a large particle, such as a bacterium, by extending its membrane around it. Pinocytosis is similar, but instead the cell engulfs droplets of extracellular fluid, taking in any dissolved substances within.
