There are two different kinds of markers in human blood. One is categorized by the letter, A, B, or O. A means there is one, B is the other, AB is both, and O means neither. The second kind of marker is portrayed by a + or -. + means there is a marker, - means there isn't. Now, a person cannot accept blood that has markers not present in their own blood. Therefore, an A+ acceptor can use A+, A-, O+ or O-. They cannot use B bacause they don't have the B marker.
O- blood has no markers so anyone can accept it, but an acceptor with O- blood cannot accept any kind except O-.
AB+ has every marker so they can accept any type of blood. However, their blood can be accepted only by others with AB+.

Is gold a electron donor or acceptor?
Since it is a metal it is an electron donor.
Is the element helium an electron donor or acceptor?
Neither. Helium doesn't form compounds and is neither an electron donor nor an electron acceptor.
Is the helium a donor?
No. Helium doesn't form compounds and is neither an electron donor nor an electron acceptor.
What is the difference between an electron donor and electron acceptor?
Donor atoms are atoms that donate electrons and have an extra pair of electrons in their orbital. Acceptor atoms are atoms that accept electrons and have a empty orbital to accommodate the extra electrons.
What compounds can act as both an electron donor and electron acceptor?
The answer is acids.... "acids are most broadly defined as compounds that are electron pair acceptors."
Is Hydrogen bond length will NOT dependent on donor and acceptor atoms?
Its not independent of the nature of donor and acceptor atoms.Its dependent on the nature of donor and acceptor atoms.............
Why blood ab is the universal acceptor?
Since the antibodies in blood group AB are absent, the donor's RBC in the recipient's body will not agglutinate because agglutination will occur when the natural antibodies of the pasma of the recipient's body will react with the foriegn antigen.
Difference between donor and acceptor impurities in semiconductors?
donor--arsenic, phosphorus, nitrogen acceptor--boron, aluminum, gallium

Is zinc an electron donor or acceptor?
Zinc is an electron donor; by giving away two electrons, it becomes Zn2+.
Why is blood type is the universal donor?
AB isn't the universal donor, O is. AB is a universal acceptor because RBC (red blood cells) contain the A and B antigen (simply put, it is a marker on the cell) so the body accepts any blood type because it recognizes the antigens. O is the universal donor because it contains no antigens, so no immune system will attack it.
What kinds of blood types can be accepted by someone with B blood?
No he can't. The acceptor has B negative, so he has antibodies against Rhesus D in his blood. The donor has Rhesus D, because he is positive, so the antbodies in the plasma of the acceptor will attack the D antigens on the red blood cells of the donor, which has a lot of nasty effects.
