Answer:

Leukocytes that respond to nonspecific foreign invaders are called Phagocytosis while Lymphocytes respond to specific invaders.

Step-by-step explanation:

Phagocytosis: It is process where phagocytes are engulfed or ingest foreign particles. Phagocytes are may be body cells like white blood cell or may be free living single celled organism.

Leukocytes, they are involved in the process of ingestion of particles, pathogen recognition, pathogen distraction and antigen presentation.

Lymphocytes are also white blood cells which is main type of immune cell in body. They are synthesized in bone marrow and present in the lymph and blood tissues. Lymphocyte main function is, they are the part of immune defense, and they are producing antibodies by recognition of the antigen.

Lymphocytes are types of antigens that are specific which means it will bind specifically to the shape of the foreign object. Phagocytes ties to any foreign bodies, it's like a blob that will "eat" any foreign/harmful matter in the body
