Questions and Answers

What is responsible for the uniform staining with eosin in erythrocytes?

  • The disc shape of the erythrocyte
  • The plasma membrane
  • The cytoplasmic granularity
  • The high concentration of hemoglobin (correct)

What is the function of the protein hemoglobin?

  • Facilitating gas exchange
  • Creating the disc shape of the erythrocyte
  • Providing the cytoplasmic granularity
  • Transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide (correct)

Why does the disc shape of the erythrocyte facilitate gas exchange?

  • It provides more surface area
  • It allows for more cytoplasmic granularity
  • It allows for more hemoglobin molecules to bind to gases (correct)
  • It increases the distance gases have to diffuse within the cell
