Which of the following results from the incomplete breakdown of glucose that occurs under anaerobic conditions?

A. While phagocytes can move to areas of damage, their primary function is not to clump together and adhere to tissues, but rather to engulf and digest foreign materials.

B. Phagocytes, such as macrophages and neutrophils, are specialized white blood cells that ingest and digest foreign pathogens, dead cells, and debris within damaged tissues. This is their main characteristic and function.

C. The release of histamine is typically associated with mast cells, not phagocytes. Histamine helps to initiate inflammatory responses, but phagocytes are involved in engulfing pathogens rather than releasing histamine.

D. Transporting oxygen from the lungs to tissues is the role of red blood cells, not phagocytes. Phagocytes are involved in immune defense, not oxygen transport.

A. T-helper cells (CD4+ cells) play a crucial role in initiating and coordinating the immune response. They stimulate the activation of B-cells to produce antibodies and help activate cytotoxic T-cells to target infected cells.

B. The first line of defense against infection is provided by physical barriers like the skin, mucous membranes, and innate immune responses, not by T-helper cells.

C. While T-helper cells can activate macrophages indirectly by releasing cytokines, their primary role is in helping to activate other immune cells like B-cells and cytotoxic T-cells, rather than directly activating macrophages.

D. T-helper cells are not directly involved in minimizing cell damage caused by T-cells. That role is more closely related to regulatory T-cells (Tregs) that help maintain immune tolerance and prevent excessive immune responses.
