Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Phagocytosis utilizes what method to destroy foreign material
A
Enzyme digestion
B
Oxidative burst
C
Both enzyme digestion and oxidative burst
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Phagocytosis can be divided into four main steps: (i) recognition of the target particle, (ii) signaling to activate the internalization machinery, (iii) phagosome formation, and (iv) phagolysosome maturation.

Detailed explanation-2: -The uptake of macromolecules and larger energy-rich particles into the cell is known as phagocytosis. Phagocytosed material is enzymatically degraded in membrane bound vesicles of the endosome/lysosome system (intracellular digestion).

Detailed explanation-3: -Another function of phagocytosis in the immune system is to ingest and destroy pathogens (like viruses and bacteria) and infected cells. By destroying the infected cells, the immune system limits how quickly the infection can spread and multiply.
