Question

What will happen if all blood platelets are removed from blood?

Solution

Platelets are responsible for the clotting of blood. If all the platelets are removed from the blood, it would lose its ability to clot.
This means, in case of an injury, the blood will not clot and would lead to uncontrollable bleeding. This would eventually result in the death of the organism.
