Which blood type is known as the universal donor? (2019)
  • Step 1: Understand that blood types are classified based on the presence of certain antigens (A and B) on the surface of red blood cells.
  • Step 2: Know that there are four main blood types: A, B, AB, and O.
  • Step 3: Recognize that Type O blood does not have A or B antigens.
  • Step 4: Since Type O blood lacks these antigens, it can be given to people with any blood type without causing an immune reaction.
  • Step 5: Conclude that Type O blood is called the universal donor because it is safe for transfusions to all other blood types.
