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.

What happens to the states of matter when the temperature changes
stepladder [879]

    They may either release heat or gain heat. With a temperature increase, the kinetic energy increases and the state of matter will increase (example, ice to water aka solid to liquid)

    If the temperature decreases, then the kinetic energy decreases and the state of matter will decrease (example, water vapor to water aka gas to liquid)

Have a nice day!

    I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)

What is the difference between continuous and discontinuous variation?
ira [324]
Discontinuous variation <span> refer to large, conspicuous differences from the parents</span>
This is where individuals fall into a number of distinct  categories, and is based on features that cannot be measured across a complete range
continious variation refer to small, indistinct differences from the normal condition.
Milk yield in cows, for example, is determined not only by their genetic make-up but is also significantly affected by environmental factors such as pasture quality and diet, weather, and the comfort of their surroundings

The action of this rudimentary biological level of organization governs all physical and chemical processes in life. ___________
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Cell

Explanation:

Cell the essential membrane- bound unit that contains the key particles of life and of which every living thing are formed.

These cells collaborate with other specific cells and become the structure squares of huge multi cell living beings, for example, people and different creatures.

The levels of organization range from a single organelle all the way up to a highly structured hierarchy.cell governs all physical and chemical process in life.
