D)finding - invading - clotting - regulating - temperature

Question

Sequential steps taken by a phagocytic cell destroying an invading microorganism include:
A)chemotaxis -> adherence -> ingestion -> digestion
B)finding -> filtering -> secreting -> enzymes -> streptolysin
C)chemotaxis -> granuloma -> adherence -> histamine
D)finding -> invading -> clotting -> regulating -> temperature

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sequential steps taken by a phagocytic cell involve chemotaxis, which is following chemical signals to the invading microbe; adherence, which is attaching to the microbe's surface; ingestion, which is engulfing the microbe into the cell; and digestion, which is breaking down the microbe with enzymes. None of the other answer choices accurately describe these steps.
