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
Will a 2 percent solution of sodium chloride cause crenation or hemolysis of a red blood cell?
Crenation of course.
What is the shrinking of plant cells?
crenation
Does crenation kill bacteria?
yes
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.
Crenation occurs when blood is placed in a?
hypertonic solution
What is 1 percent of glucose crenation or hemolysis?
Hemolysis
What is 5 percent of glucose crenation or hemolysis?
None
What solution does crenation occur in?
Crenation is the loss of water from an animal cell due to osmosis. Lysis is the rupture of the cell wall due to too much water moving into an animal cell due to osmosis. Both crenation and lysis have drastic effects on the animal cell. Crenation is the equivalent of flaccid plant cells and lysis is the equivalent of turgid for plant cells. The key difference between lysis and turgid is that plants have a cellulose cell wall so do not rupture or burst the cell wall like animal cells with lysis do.
