ANSWER:
chemotaxis.
digestion.
elimination.
exocytosis.
adherence.
Correct
Part C

ANSWER:
Adherence
Exocytosis
Correct
Part D
What is the role of opsonins?
ANSWER:
They create "handles" that make it easier for the pseudopods of phagocytes to attach to the microbe invader.
Correct
Part E
What is a phagolysosome?
ANSWER:
The structure that results from the fusion of a phagosome and a lysosome.
A protein that covers the surface of an invading microbe, making it easier for the phagocyte to ingest.
Correct
