1. anemia: a condition in which the blood is deficient in red blood cells

2. blood plasma: pale yellow fluid portion of whole blood that consists of water and

dissolved consituents

3. erythrocytes: aka red blood cells, hemoglobin-carrying cells that carry oxygen to

the tissues and are responsible for the red color of the vertebrate blood

4. leukocytes: aka white blood cells, colorless, lack of hemoglobin, and help prevent

infection

5. hematocrit: percent of the volume of whole blood that is composed of red blood

cells as determined by separation of red blood cells from the plasma

6. sickle cell disease: homozygous gene hemoglobin S, destruction of red blood

cells by episodic blocking and dis form the shape of cells

7. thrombocytes: aka platelets, assists in blood clotting by adhering to other

platelets and damaged epithelium

with a ribose sugar and the nitrogenous bases: adenine, cytosine, guanine, and uracil.

single stranded, functions in protein synthesis and as the genome of some viruses
