  3. Platelets

  4. Plasma

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

WBC (White Blood Cells) is correct because white blood cells are the primary component of the immune system that fights infections and diseases. RBCs carry oxygen, platelets help with blood clotting, and plasma is the liquid medium that carries the cells.

Multiple choice
  1. RBC

  2. WBC

  3. Plasma

  4. Water

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Plasma is correct because plasma is the liquid portion of blood (about 55% of blood volume) that carries blood cells, nutrients, hormones, and waste products. RBCs and WBCs are cells, not liquid. Water alone is not the transport medium in blood.

Multiple choice
  1. Leucocytes

  2. Phagocytes

  3. Lymphocytes

  4. Erythocytes

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Lymphocytes (specifically B-lymphocytes) are white blood cells responsible for producing antibodies as part of the adaptive immune response. When they detect foreign antigens, they differentiate into plasma cells that mass-produce specific antibodies to neutralize pathogens. Leucocytes is the general term for all white blood cells; phagocytes engulf pathogens; erythrocytes are red blood cells.
