21 1 point Phagocytes, a type of white blood cell, help protect the body from harmful bacteria.Phagocytes use energy to move their pseudopodia around bacteria topull the bacteria inside the cell.where digestive enzymes break down the bacteria. How can this process best be described? Phagocytes create new toxins when they remove bacteria from the body Phagocytes use passive transport to remove bacteria from the body Phagocytes disrupt homeostasis when they remove bacteria from the body Phagocytes use active transport to remove bacteria from the body

## Step 1<br />The problem describes the process of phagocytosis, which is a type of endocytosis. This process involves the movement of materials cell by the cell membrane folding around the material and forming a vesicle. <br /><br />## Step 2<br />The process of phagocytosis requires energy, which is a characteristic of active transport. Active transport is a process that uses energy to move substances against their concentration gradient, from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />In contrast, passive transport does not require energy and moves substances from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.<br /><br />## Step 4<br />The process of phagocytosis does not create new toxins, nor does it disrupt homeostasis. Instead, it helps to maintain homeostasis by removing harmful bacteria from the body.
