Explanation / Answer

Hemolysis

Crenation

No change

Placing a Red Blood Cells into a Hypotonic Solution

Placing a Red Blood Cell in Distilled Water

Placing a red blood cell into a hypertonic solution

Placing a red blood cell with a concentration of 0.9% NaCl into a solution of 1.5% NaCl

Placing a red blood cell into an isotonic solute.

Placing a red blood cell with an ICF concentration of 0.9% NaCl into a solution with 0.1% NaCl

Hemolysis – It is the destruction of the RBC that is caused due to swelling of the cell that leads to bursting of the cells. It leads to the destruction and tends to release the hemoglobin into the bloodstream. When a RBC is placed in a hypotonic solution, the concentration of the solute is less in the solution. This leads to entry of the water from high to low concentration leading to bursting of the cell. In the distilled water, it is hypotonic and hence it leads to hemolysis.

Crenation – It is the shrinkage of the cells that occur due to the release of the water into the surrounding environment. This happens when it is placed in hypertonic solution.

Isotonic Solution – When a cell is placed in such solution, there is no movement of water in and out of the cell and it leads to no change.
