A) RBC haemolyses and hence leakage of \[{{K}^{+}}\]ions
B) \[{{K}^{+}}\] ions become more mobile at\[4{}^\circ C\]
C) Active transport ceases resulting in ionic equilibrium
D) The anticoagulant attracts the \[{{K}^{+}}\]ions into the plasma
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Blood is stored with an anticoagulant at 4°C. At normal temperature due to potassium pump, K+ ions are more inside RBC than plasma. Low temperature stops the potassium pump; i.e., inhibit active transport, K+ ions come out from RBCs resulting in ionic equilibrium.You need to login to perform this action.
