The surface type of this process can happen to encapsulated bacteria after they are attached to a blood vessel.
The surface type of this process can happen to encapsulated bacteria after they are attached to a blood vessel. In other cases of it, bacteria are covered with proteins, allowing other molecules to adhere to them. The granules of neutrophils can begin this process, which is completed by hydrogen peroxide and superoxide. Leukocytes, or white blood cells, also use this process to protect the body from bacterial infections. Name this process also carried out when protists use their cell membranes to ingest nutrients, a form of endocytosis [en-doh-sy-TOH-sis].
