Question

Blood cells which show phagocytosis are
A. Platelets
B. Eosinophils
C. Basophils
D. Monocytes

Answer 1

Hint: Phagocytosis is the mechanism by which phagocytes, or living cells, eat or engulf other cells or particles. A phagocyte may be a free-living single-celled organism like an amoeba or a body cell like a white blood cell.

Complete answer:
Monocytes are a type of white blood cell known as a leukocyte. They are the most common type of leukocyte and can differentiate into macrophages and dendritic cells of the myeloid lineage. Monocytes, as part of the vertebrate innate immune system, also have an effect on adaptive immunity.
Monocytes are blood phagocytic leukocytes that, along with tissue macrophages and neutrophils, play a key role in the first line of defence against pathogenic organisms and foreign cells.
The act of engulfing other cells or particles is known as phagocytosis. Monocytes are blood-borne immune cells that differentiate and battle bacteria, viruses, and fungi by engulfing them and defending the body. Platelets, on the other hand, are blood cells that aid in blood clotting. Both basophils and eosinophils are WBCs (white blood cells).

So the correct answer is option D

Note:
Monocytosis, or a high level of monocytes, indicates that the body is battling something. Virus infections like infectious mononucleosis, mumps, and measles, for example, can cause a rise in monocytes in your blood infections caused by parasites
