Transcribed Image Text:1. Blood Typing
Red blood cells are coated in antigens made of glycolipids and glycoproteins. The composition of
these molecules is determined by genetics, which have evolved over time. The two most well-known
blood groups are the ABO and Rh systems. The surface antigens in the ABO blood group are glycolipids,
calied antigen A and antigen B. People with blood type A have antigen A, those with blood type B have
antigen B, those with blood type AB have both antigens, and people with blood type O have neither
antigen. Antibodies called agglutinogens are found in the blood plasma and react with the A or B antigens,
if the two are mixed. When type A and type B blood are combined, agglutination (clumping) of the blood
occurs because of antibodies in the plasma that bind with the opposing antigen; this causes clots that
coagulate in the kidney causing kidney failure. Type O blood has neither A or B antigens, and therefore,
type O blood can be given to all blood types. Type O negative blood is the universal donor. Type AB
positive blood is the universal acceptor because it has both A and B antigen.
The Rh blood group was first discovered in Rhesus monkeys. Most people have the Rh antigen
(Rh+) and do not have anti-Rh antibodies in their blood. The few people who do not have the Rh antigen
and are Rh- can develop anti-Rh antibodies if exposed to Rh+ blood.
Based on the information above and the advanced readings done, fill out the following chart regarding
each blood type. This will be helpful in analyzing the answer for the questions below.
