Explain how you would distinguish a granulocyte from an agranulocyte when viewing these cells through a microscope

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Granulocytes can be distinguished from other cell types by the presence of granules in the cytoplasm and their unusual nuclei. Each cell has a single nucleus with multiple lobes that are connected by thin bands of nuclear material. Agranulocytes lack visible cytoplasmic granules.
