A group of researchers wanted to sort different white blood cell types (monocytes, lymphocytes, and granulocytes) apart from eac

h other based on size differences and to remove unwanted contaminating red blood cells. After a particular manipulation, the red blood cells lysed. The remaining white blood cells increased in size and, more importantly, the size differences among cells increased, allowing for size-based sorting (which requires minimum size differences among cells). What manipulation did the researchers use to increase cell size?A. placing cells in an environment with lower temperatures than the cells were previously exposed toB. patch-clamp recording to monitor ion channel activityC. placing cells in an environment with a lower solute concentration than that in the cellsD. placing cells in an environment with a higher solute concentration than that in the cells

Answer:

C. placing cells in an environment with a lower solute concentration than that in the cells.

Explanation:

In pathological or diagnostic laboratories, to perform the differential leukocytes count (DLC) or white blood cells (WBC) count which are granulocytes, lymphocytes and monocytes we should first lyse the erythorcytes or red blood cells (RBC) with RBC lysis buffer. When RBC's lysis occur then only WBC's remain in the solution. Then, we add the hypotonic solution or lower solute concentration solution. By adding the hypotonic solution the cells will swell and increase in size.

So, the researchers used the hypotonic solution or lower solute concentration solution to increase the size of cells to differentiate between them.

Note:

In hypotonic solution the cells are increased in size or swell.

In hypertonic solution the cells are decrease in size or shrink.

In Isotonic solution the cells size remain same as normal.

Reproduction 1. differentiate asexual and sexual reproduction and give an example of each. reproduction 1. differentiate asexual
Mariana [72]
Asexual reproduction involves only one parent and the offspring is identical to the parent. An example of an organism that reproduces asexually is Archaea or bacteria. Sexual reproduction involves two parents and the offspring's genes are equally contributed by each parent. An example of organisms that reproduce sexually are some land mammals. The chromosomes of a parent and offspring in asexual reproduction are identical and there is no difference in the chromosomes.

The light-dependent reactions include an electron transport chain system that works in a very
mamaluj [8]

Explanation:

When the high energy electrons move from the reactive center, they are conveyed from one chain protein to another as the energy in the electrons is harnessed to pump H+ ions from the stroma into the lamellae. The electron will ultimately reduce NADP+ to NADPH and the electrons in the reactive center will be replaced by high energy electrons from the splitting of a water molecule in photolysis. The energy of the sun is used to split the water molecule. The high energy electrons then undergo the same cycle as the previous electrons and the cycle continues.

Eventually a proton-motive force is created across the lamellae membrane. This potential energy of the high H+ ion gradient is used by ATP synthase enzyme to phosphorylate ADPs to ATPs.
