Is 10 percent NaCl isotonic hypertonic or hypotonic to red blood cells?
it is hypotonicQuoting from someone else's reply to this question What_is_an_example_of_a_hypotonic_solution,"0.45% NaCl (half-normal saline solution); since normal saline is 0.9% NaCl, any solution less than 9% is hypotonic".Doesn't this mean that 10% is hypertonic?
What appearance will red blood cells have when they are placed in 9.0 percent NaCl?
Since a 9% saline solution is hypertonic as compared to the cell, it would crenate (crush or shrink).

Why the concentration of solutions used for intravenous feeding must be controlled carefully?
If not controlled carefully, the resulting solution could be hypertonic or hypotonic, instead of being isotonic. This would cause pain at the infusion site, and would destroy cells that it came in contact with.
What would happen to a person blood osmolality when drinking seawater?
When you drink seawater, a high concentration of salt finds its way into your blood vessels. As a result, you have a higher concentration of solutes (salt molecules, in this case) on the outside of your blood cells than in your blood cells-- there is a hypertonic solution on the outside of the blood cells. Your body wants to keep solutions isotonic across the membranes-- that means your body wants the same amount of free water molecules on the inside of the blood cells as the outside-- so water molecules move out of the blood cells in order to keep the balance of free water molecules. The water moving out of the blood cells cause them to "crenate," or shrink, which is of course not very good for your cells.
Is 10 percent NaCl isotonic hypertonic or hypotpnic to red blood cells?
A hypotonic solution will be anything with less than 0.9% salt.
Is pure water hypertonic to red blood cells?
Yes, because there is no sodium in the solution.
What term would be applied to each of the blood cells?
I think those the effects of Osmosis which are: Isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic solutions.

What are three types of solutions at affect cells?
hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic
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 a hypertonic solution in a cell?
Hypertonic solution: A solution with a higher sailt concentration than in normal cells of the body and the blood. As opposed to an isotonic isolution or a hypotonic solution. Follow medicine dictionary.
Does celery stay fresher in hypotonic water or hypertonic water?
Distilled water is hypotonic, which makes the celery fresher. NaCl solution is hypertonic to the celery cells making them limp.
Would hypertonic or hypotonic blood serum cause hemolysis?
If a cell is placed into a hypotonic solution, the water will flow into the cell causing it to swell and possibly lyse. If a cell is placed into a hypertonic solution, the water will flow out of the cell causing it to crenate. So hemolysis occurs when the red blood cells lyse.
Is ocean water hypotonic or hypertonic?
Hypertonic. The concentration of dissolved salts is higher in ocean water than in human cells.
Is corn syrup hypertonic or hypotonic?
Corn syrup is a hypertonic solution because cells are moving out instead of in, and the cell is shrinking.
When plant cells are swollen with water they are what?
Plants swell when hypertonic in hypotonic solutions of impermeable materials
