Activity 3: Hemoglobin (Hb) Determination (pp. 148–149)

11. The hematocrit value for the healthy male is 48.
The hematocrit value for the healthy female is 44.
The ratio of PCV to Hb for the female with iron-deficiency anemia tells you that she
may have a normal number of red blood cells, but they do not contain adequate levels of
hemoglobin molecules.
Yes, the male with polycythemia has a normal ratio of PCV to Hb (a ratio of 3:1).
Yes, the red blood cells of the male with polycythemia contain adequate levels of hemoglobin
molecules.
Yes, the female Olympic athlete has a normal ratio of PCV to Hb (a ratio of 3:1).
Yes, the red blood cells of the female Olympic athlete contain adequate levels of
hemoglobin molecules.

Activity 4: Blood Typing (pp. 150–151)

19. If the anti-A antibody causes the blood to agglutinate, antigen (agglutinogen) A would
be present on the blood cells.
If a person has type AB blood, antigen (agglutinogens) A & B are present on their red
blood cells.
In a person with type AB blood, neither A nor B antibodies (agglutinins) are present.
A person with type O blood has neither A nor B antigens (agglutinogens).
