Question 6 • Biology

Why is the action of phagocytes considered a nonspecific response?

Answer
A
It does not respond to any specific type of hormone.
B
It is not involved with the production of any specific type of lymphocyte.
C
It does not occur at any specific temperature.
D
It is not a response to a specific type of pathogen.

Explanation

Phagocytes engulf and digest invading microbes as part of the innate immune system. They act against many kinds of pathogens rather than recognizing and targeting one specific type, so their action is considered nonspecific. Choice D correctly describes this broad response.
