Solution
The correct option is B
lack of hemoglobin
The correct option is option B)
Leucocytes, also known as white blood cells (WBCs), are transparent, colourless cells that circulate in the blood and lymph and play an important role in the immune system.
It is because they lack haemoglobin and account for barely 1% of total blood volume. RBCs, on the other hand, are red because of the presence of haemoglobin.
Option A) is incorrect
A white blood cell, also known as a leukocyte or white corpuscle, is a blood cellular component that lacks haemoglobin, contains a nucleus, is motile, and protects the body from infection and sickness. There is no relation between lack of water with the colourless nature of leucocytes.
Option C) is incorrect
Lipid bodies are cytoplasmic inclusions that form inside leukocytes such as eosinophils and neutrophils during inflammation.
Option D) is incorrect
Leucocytes is a blood cellular component that lacks haemoglobin, so the given statement is false and incorrect.
