How are ladybugs beneficial to plants?

Devouring predators and preventing disfiguration are ways in which ladybugs are beneficial to plants. The insects in question (Coccinellidae family) emerge as target-specific and task-focused in their feeding behaviors.

How are herbicides designed to harm plant cells but not human cells?

Systemic and target-specific formulations are ways in which herbicides are designed to harm plant -- not human -- cells. But in reality, it is difficult to comprehend and control all of the after- and side-effects of herbicides so environmentalists tend to speak of degrees of ambient residue and of harm to non-target organisms.


How and why do pathogenic bacteria enter host cells?

Pathogenic bacteria enter host cells basically for "food and shelter", and to hide from the host's immune system. Under normal circumstances, the phagocytic cells of the immune system engulf the bacteria and/or tag them for destruction by other means. This keeps the bacteria away from other cells. Studies indicate however, that pathogenic bacteria enter non-phagocytic cells via receptor-mediated endocytosis. The bacterium has a surface protein that a protein on the host cell recognizes. The cell is then fooled into believeing that the bacterial protein is one that needs to be destroyed or recycled. Since the cell's protein destruction machinery is inside the cell, it brings the bacterium into the cell via endocytosis. And the rest is history!
