Red blood cells are negatively charge. When a negative charge meets another negative charge, supposedly it will repel. When red blood cells stick together, it means that the normal negative charge of the red blood cell change to positively charge causing it to effect other red blood cells. This may due to the presence of bacteria, fungus and many more. This may also due to the unhealthy eating habits.

What are the parts of the blood and what are their functions?

There are 3 main groups of cells in the blood; erythrocytes (red blood cells,) leukocytes (white blood cells,) and thrombocytes (platelet cells.) Erythrocytes carry oxygen to all of the parts of the body. Leukocytes fight germs in the blood and lymph. Thrombocytes stick together to form a clot when a person is bleeding. The liquid part of the blood where all of the cells float in is called plasma.


What is the condition of red blood cells that appear like stacked coins?

The condition of red blood cells stacked like coins is known as Rouleaux formation. This is a reversible phenomenon often seen in conditions with high levels of acute-phase proteins, such as inflammation or infection, where the proteins cause the red blood cells to stick together.


Do cells stick together or stay far apart?

Both. There are too many different types of cells to mention but for example, skin or epithelial cells are obviously stuck very close together. Blood platelets, or cells, are free moving for obvious reasons. In order to answer this question more correctly you need to be more specific.


What will happen if two incompatible blood types are mixed?

The type B blood has an antigen on the red cells identifying them as B type cells. The type A blood of the recipient contains antibodies that bind to B type antigens. These antibodies will cause the red cells of the blood in the transfusion to stick together forming solid lumps in the blood, preventing it from flowing.

How is a blood claught formed?

A blood clot forms when blood cells and proteins within the blood stick together to stop bleeding from a damaged blood vessel. Platelets are key components that help initiate the clotting process by forming a plug at the site of injury, followed by the formation of a mesh-like structure of fibrin to strengthen the clot.

How does a single amino acid substitution cause hemoglobin molecules to stick together?

A single amino acid substitution, such as the one in sickle cell anemia where glutamic acid is replaced by valine, can cause hemoglobin molecules to stick together due to a change in the structure of the protein. This structural change leads to the formation of abnormal hemoglobin polymers that can distort the shape of red blood cells, leading to their sickling and contributing to various complications.

How does adhesion affect living organisms?

Adhesion is important for living organisms because it allows cells to stick together and form tissues and organs. In plants, adhesion helps water move up through the xylem vessels. In animals, adhesion is needed for cells to stick to blood vessel walls and for platelets to form blood clots.
