Detailed explanation-1: -Basophils, neutrophils, and eosinophils are granulocytes. Lymphocytes and Monocytes, on the other hand, are agranulocytes.

Detailed explanation-2: -A lymphocyte is not a granulocyte. Granulocytes are a category of white blood cells characterized by the presence of granules in their cytoplasm. There are three principal types of granulocytes-basophil granulocytes, eosinophil granulocytes and neutrophil granulocytes. Lymphocytes and monocytes are the agranulocytes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Like granulocytes, monocytes are produced by stem cells in the bone marrow and circulate through the blood, though in lesser numbers. But, unlike granulocytes, monocytes undergo differentiation, becoming macrophages that settle in many tissues, especially the lymphoid tissues (e.g., spleen and lymph nodes) and…

Detailed explanation-4: -Neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils are granulocytes. A granulocyte is a type of white blood cell. Also called granular leukocyte, PMN, and polymorphonuclear leukocyte.

Detailed explanation-5: -Monocytes are classified as agranular because they do not have visible granules when examined through a microscope. Their nuclei are kidney shaped, and since they are not lobed, monocytes are often referred to as mononuclear leukocytes.
