Question

A red blood cell placed in a hypertonic solution will shrink in a process called crenation. A red blood cell placed in a hypotonic solution. To prevent crenation or hemolysis. a cell must be placed in an isotonic solution such as 0.9% (m/v) NaCI or 50% (m/v) glucose This d cell, which contains several different solutes. A red blood cell is placed into each of the following solutions Indicate whether orientation hemolysis, or neither will occur. Solution A 321% (m/v) NaCl Solution B 165% (m/v) glucose Solution C. distilled H/O Solution D: 6.97% (m/v) goose Solution E 50% (m/v) glucose and 0.9%(m/v)NaCl Drag each solution to the appropriate bin.

Explanation / Answer

as we know 0.9% NaCl solution and 5% glucose solution will act as isotonic solution. if solution's strength is lower than this cell will swell and finally hemolysis takes place and if cell will place in hypertonic solution, cell will shrink or crenation takes place.

now solutions are-

3.21% NaCl solution- hypertonic solution -crenation.

1.65% glucose solution- hypotonic solution.- hemolysis.

distilled water- hypotonic solution - hemolysis.

6.97% glucose solution- hypertonic solution - crenation.

5% glucose and 0.9% NaCl solution- isotonic solution- neither will occur.
