<h3>What is a white blood cell?</h3>

White blood cells or better called leukocytes are blood cells produced in the bone marrow that belong to the immune system which are responsible for the <u>protection </u><u>and</u> <u>combat of infections and diseases</u>.

There are different types of white blood cells, among these are: <em>neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes and lymphocytes</em>.

Usually the blood count of these leukocytes is used to detect situations such as infections, allergies, inflammation or leukemia.

Therefore, we can confirm that a white blood cell engulfing a bacterium is an example of blood functioning in protection.

HELP PLEASE!! Field test is done on the milkweed in the wild and the clothianidin content per plant was about 1 ppb. larvae spen

MrMuchimi

Answer:

In the question it is given that the milkweed with clothianidin above the 1ppb concentration will result in less successful hatching of monarch butterfly eggs. Along with the data from the experiments, the exposure of clothianidin on the monarch habitats will lead to a decrease in the population of the monarch butterfly initially. Then in later generations if any mutation occurs and a resistant butterfly is developed then the population of the monarch butterfly will recover. But without this mutation the population size will be reduced and the size and weight of the butterfly will also get reduced.
