Answer: B. condition characterized by a low white blood cell count.

Explanation: Neutropenia is a condition where neutrophil count is abnormally low in blood/ decrease. Neutrophils are the most prevalent type of WBCs. They respond to bacterial infections, such as pneumonia or urinary tract infections, by engulfing the bacteria through the process of phagocytosis. If the infection is moderate or severe, the bone marrow will produce extra amounts of neutrophils.

Neutropenia is usually a side effect of medications such as chemotherapy medications, heparin, and antibiotics, but can also be the result of some genetic disorders. Dangerously low levels of neutrophils pose an extremely high risk of contracting various bacterial and fungal infections.

Treatment is the discontinuation of offending medications causing neutropenia. There are medications called granulocyte colony stimulating factors (gCSF) available that stimulate the production of neutrophils. Two common gCSF medications are

* Filgrastim (Neupogen)

* Pegfilgrastim (Neulasta)

Patients with severe neutropenia are generally treated with a course of prophylactic antibiotics... PF

List three ways in which rods and cones differ in structure or function
qwelly [4]

<span>1.       </span>Cones perceive light in color while rods perceive light in black and white.

<span>2.       </span>Rods can perceive dim light, unlike cones. The rods are located at the edges of the eyes. This is why it easier to perceive an image in the dark through the corner of the eyes.

<span>3.       </span>The discs that compose the cones are usually partially open to the surrounding vitreous fluid while those of the rods are closed.

Using a microscope, Quinlin notices a small green organelle inside a cell. Which of the following is most likely to occur first
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

D.The light-dependent reactions absorb sunlight and transfer the energy to electrons.

Explanation:

Firstly, the organelle that was described as small green organelle inside a cell as noticed by Quinlin is the CHLOROPLAST. Chloroplast is an organelle present in the cells of green plants, in fact, it makes plants green. Chloroplast is the organelle where the unique process of PHOTOSYNTHESIS occurs in plant cells.

However, the photosynthetic process is divided into stages namely: light-dependent and light-independent stages. The light dependent stage, which involves the production of ATP (energy carrier) and NADPH (electron carrier), must PRECEDE the light independent stage or Calvin cycle. Chloroplast contains a pigment called CHLOROPHYLL, which absorbs light energy from the SUN in order to power the light dependent stage of photosynthesis.

Hence, the light-dependent reactions, which absorb sunlight and transfer the energy to electrons must occur first in the organelle.
