Match the term with its correct description. Iron-sequestering compounds secreted by bacterial cells. Enzyme found in tears and saliva that targets bacterial cell walls. Protein that is secreted by some bacteria that lyses erythrocytes. Integral membrane proteins found in the plasma membrane of phagocytic cells that bind to pathogen-associated molecular patterns. Cytosolic proteins found in phagocytic cells that bind to pathogen-associated molecular patterns. Cellular fibers that sequester and immobilize bacteria.
