What is Phagocytosis

its a process that a phagocyte completes in order to remove any unwanted pathogens and organism. I will show pictures and diagrams explaining the process to the student. once the phagocyte has ingested the unwated object its name is now called a phagosome. The phagosome then has lysosomes within it which fuse with the unwanted bateria/objected releasing low pH acidic substance, killing and destroying the unwanted bacteria.
