What is a hypotonic solution?
A hypotonic solution is a solution with a lower salt concentration than in normal cells of the body and the blood.
A solution that contains a lower concentration of salt than living red blood cells would be?
It's a hypotonic solution. ex; blood, tears.
Is pure water hypertonic to red blood cells?
Yes, because there is no sodium in the solution.
When placed in a hypotonic solution what will happen to the cell?
If cells are placed in a hypotonic solution the cells gain water. The hypotonic solution has lower solute concentration then the cell's cytoplasm so the water will enter via osmosis.
A solution containing a higher concentration of dissolved substances than the cell is termed?
There are two types of solutions categorized by solute concentration. If the solution has a higher saline concentration than the erythrocytes (red blood cells) it is said to be hypertonic. If the opposite is true the solution is then hypotonic.

What is hyphotonic?
Hypotonic solution: A solution with a lower concentration than in normal cells of the body and the blood.
Effect of hypotonic?
A hypotonic solution (meaning the salt concentration is lower outside the cell than it is on the inside) will effectively burst your cells due to the water rushing in to diffuse in the salt in your cells.
What could you do to reduce interference from red blood cells?
Mix the blood in a hypotonic solution, which will cause the RBCs to lyse.
Is pure water hypertonic to red blood cells?
Yes, because there is no sodium in the solution.
What is hypotonic cell?
Hypotonic cells are cells that have been exposed to hypotonic solutions. These solutions cause cells to plumb as they fill with the solution.
What can happen to animal cells when placed in a hypotonic solution explain?

Which red blood cells has been placed in a hypotonic solution?

Water enters a cell when the solution surrounding the cell is?
Hypotonic- i think. Hypertonic is when it shrinks and Lyses is when the cell burts from swelling too much. We did it with blood cells in my Anatomy and Physiology class.
What would happen to your cell if a hypotonic solution is place directly into your blood stream?
Swell and possibly burst depending on how hypotonic the solution was and how much of it was injected. However the human body has evolved many simple and complex ways to deal with these situations and therefore a small amount of hypotonic solution will likely cause no effect to your cells.
Bursting of a red blood cells in hypotonic solution?
That is not a question.Blood cells burst in hypotonic solutions because there is no equilibrium. therefore, since the solution outside of the blood cell is at a higher concentration, the solution will flow into the blood cell ( high to low concentration) and cause the cell to expand. The blood cell will burst if too much solution enters the cell.
