Phospholipases are enzymes that do which of the following?

degrade antibodies

promote pathogen spread through connective tissue.

degrade nucleic acid to promote spread of pathogen

degrade cell membranes to allow pathogens to escape phagosomes

The correct option is : d. degrade cell membranes to allow pathogens to escape phagosomes

Explanation:

Phospholipases is a type of enzyme that catalyze the hydrolysis of the phospholipids to form fatty acids and lipophilic substances.

The main function of the enzyme phospholipases is the degradation of the cell membranes. This is done by hydrolyzing the phospholipid bilayer of the cell.

Phospholipases also targets the membrane of the phagosomes in the phagocytic cells and allows the pathogens to escape the phagosome and multiply in the cytoplasm of phagocytic cells.
