Explanation

The lifespan of white blood cells ranges from 13 to 20 days, after which time they are destroyed in the lymphatic system.

When immature WBCs are first released from the bone marrow into the peripheral blood, they are called "bands" or "stabs."

Explanation

An atom consists of three subatomic particles:

1. Protons (positively charged)
2. Neutrons (neutral)
3. Electrons (negatively charged)

Additional Information:

A neutral atom has equal protons and electrons; imbalance creates ions.

Discovered by John Dalton in 1808 (Atomic Theory).

Cation = positive ion,
Anion = negative ion,
Isotopes = same element with different neutrons,

Explanation

Mitochondria is known as powerhouse of cell because it serves as site for synthesis of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP),

the energy currency of cell, through the process of aerobic cellular respiration.

ATP serves as energy currency for different cell activities.

A cell consists of three parts:

1. The cell membrane,

2. The nucleus, and,

3. Between the two, the cytoplasm.

Cells are called ‘structural’ and ‘functional’ units for a reason.

Cells are made of molecules which are in turn made up of atoms.

“Cell is the unit of LIFE” is that a cell is the smallest living entity in a living system.

Explanation

Chromosomes are made up of:

• Nucleic acid (DNA or RNA)
• Proteins (histones and non-histone proteins)

A chromosome is made up of proteins and DNA organized into genes.

Each cell normally contains 23 pairs of chromosomes.

Explanation

Capillaries are very tiny blood vessels, that a single red blood cell can barely fit through them.

Explanation

White blood cells are called soldiers of the body, because the white blood cells provide immunity to our body.

They help in fighting against diseases, infections, allergies and foreign particles.
