Step 1
Introduction :-
Phagocytosis is the process through which phagocytes, or living cells, consume or engulf other cells or particles. A phagocyte can be a free-living single-celled organism like an amoeba or a body cell like a white blood cell. Phagocytosis is a method of feeding in some animals, such as amoebas and sponges. In higher animals, phagocytosis is mostly a defensive response to infection and foreign substance invasion (antigens).
