Crenation occurs when a blood cell is placed in a?
Hypotonic solution
Is H2O hemolysis or crenation?
Crenation is the contraction of a cell after exposure to a hypertonic solution, due to the loss of water through osmosis.Hemolysis is the breakdown of red blood cells.
Examples of crenation?
Crenation occurs when animal cells are exposed to a hypertonic solution, causing shrinkage, distortion, and often leave a scalloped appearance to the edge of the cell. A common reason for crenation in red blood cells is dehydration. It is also seen when pickling and salt-curing foods.
Does 2 percent NaCl cause crenation or hemolysis in red blood cells?
crenation
What is an example of Crenation?
Crenation is an example of osmosis. In this process, the cell distorts and shrinks after being placed in a hypotonic solution.
Will a 2 percent solution of sodium chloride cause crenation or hemolysis of a red blood cell?
Crenation of course.
Does crenation take place when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
Yes
What solution causes crenation of the red blood cell?
Hypertonic
What is shrinking of a red blood cell due to water loss?
Crenation
What does it mean when the RBC's were placed into a solution and crenation occurred?
The solution was saltier than the blood. Water leaves the blood causing the cells to become like prunes or crenated. If the opposite were true, the cells would busrt from too much water.
What happens when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
crenation take place
What are the results when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
The cell will experience crenation and shrink. The cell will lose water through osmosis when placed in a hypertonic solution.
