What is the abo blood classification based on? a. antibody on the red blood cell b. antigen in the blood c. antigen on the red blood cell d. hemoglobin in the blood

The correct answer is C) Antigen on the Red blood cell.

The classification of ABO blood grouping is based on the presence of corpus Antigen on the surface of red blood cells.

There are four blood types (A, B, AB, O) in this classification that are determined by three alleles of ABO gene in a population.

On the surface of RBA, blood type A has Antigen A, blood type B has Antigen B, and blood type O has no antigen.

Thus, C) is the right answer.

The ABO blood group is classified on the basis of antigen present on the surface of red blood cells.

Further Explanation:

A blood group system or ABO blood groups are classified on the basis of the inherited characteristics of the erythrocytes (red blood cell). It is determined by the presence of type A and type B antigen on the surface red cells. On the basis of that, the individual may have type A, B, O and AB blood group.

The blood groups were first discovered by Karl Landsteiner in 1901. He was an Austrian immunologist. The people with type A antigen will have type B antibodies in their serum. If type A blood is transfused to the individual with type B blood group, the blood will show coagulation because type B antigen will react with type B antibodies. The individual with type O blood group does not possess both types of antigen, whereas type AB possesses both the antigens. Blood group O is the most commonly occurring blood group type across the world.

a. seed plant structure. 1. the three main plant organs are roots, stems, and leaves. a fourth kind of tissue, meristematic tissue, is responsible for plant growth. meristematic tissue is the only plant tissue that produces new cells by mitosis. plants can lose water out of their leaves as they exchange gases with the air

explanation:

cells use diffusion to get substances in and out of themselves. that diffusion will occur across the cell membrane or the outer covering of the cell. because we are talking about the surface of the cell, surface area and volume are  important factors here. as a cell increases in size, its surface area and volume increase as well.  we call that the surface area to volume ratio (sa: vol).  but the catch is that  volume increases at a greater rate than surface  area. in other words, as a cell gets bigger, the sa: vol gets smaller. so a really small cell like bacteria is mostly cell membrane (surface) with very little contents (volume). a really big cell like an egg, is mostly insides with a super thin membrane. so what ends up happening is that the cell cannot efficiently diffuse all of the stuff it needs in/out to survive. therefore cell size is limited to about 100mm. so how do we make organisms bigger than 100mm? cells divide! by dividing and becoming multicellular, organisms are able to grow!   check out the diagrams i attached to see the effect of sa: vol. i hope this ! good luck!
