What are the Tonicity of the cell?
Cells can be placed in solutions with higher, lower, or equal concentration to the cell... 1. ISOTONIC: - a solution with equal concentration to the cell. - 0.9% NaCl solutions is isotonic to RBC (red blood cells). - isotonic solutions cause no net gain or loss of water to a cell. 2. HYPOTONIC: - solute concentration is greater on the inside of the cell (or: the outer solution has less concentration than inside). - >0.9% NaCl solutions is hypotonic to RBC (red blood cells). - causes swelling, could burst (lyse) - net gain of water 3. HYPERTONIC: - <0.9% NaCl solutions is hypertonic to RBC (red blood cells). - net loss of water from the cell. - solute concentration is greater on the outside of the cell (or: the outer solution is greater concentration than the inside). - causes the cell shrink (crenation in RBC)
Name the areas where RBC is produced?
RBC's are formed in bone marrow.
What animal has a nucleus in matured RBC?
A frog has a nucleus in matured RBC.
What happens when a person has sickle cell anemia?
sickle cell anemia is releated with RBC . RBC will change in size ( microcytic ) and shap will change (sickling shap) that are cause in blokers vascular > then cause hypoxia in some organes that is cause tachycardia and shortness breath some time palor
How identify RBC?
An old RBC(red blood cell) can be identified from the spleen or the liver.
If a cell lives in hypotonic environment what will happen if placed in hypertonic environment?
If a cell is used to living in a hypotonic environment, that means that there exists less solute concentration outside of the cell. Take, for example, a red blood cell (RBC). When the RBC is placed in distilled water, the RBC is hypertonic to the water. The water is hypotonic to the RBC. In this case, the RBC will swell, and in most cases rupture. However, if one were to put an RBC in very salty water, the RBC would be hypotonic to the salt water. The salt water would be a hypertonic environment. In this case, the water would diffuse out of the RBC, causing it to shrivel. Awigman
What is the Effect of 0.075M and 0.3M concentration on RBC's?
It will depend on the nature of the solute. If you are talking about NaCl, for example, 0.075 is hypotonic and will tend to rupture the RBC. 0.3 M NaCl will be hypertonic and will tend to make the RBC shrink.
What will happen if red blood cells are transferred to seawater?
as u know, seawater is salty ,that is hypertonic.. when u place RBC in sea water it will swell and then burst.
What will happen when rbc kept in 10 percent glucose solution?
As he concentration of sugar is higher at the outer atmosphere of rbc it will gain sugar inside and loss water
Rupture of red blood cells placed in a hypertonic solution is called?
Yes, and this can cause the cell to explode. This is not life threatening however, because we have skin cells to protect us.
What happens to red blood cells when exposed to high altitude?
The number of RBC will increase
What is Dysmorphic RBC?
1.small rbc 2.twister rbc 3.bite rbc 4.acanthocyte rbc 5.donat rbc 6.mikey mouse rbc
What happens to a red blood cell put in 0.9 saline?
the RBC gets swel up and it bursts
When red blood cells increase what happens?
Heart attack is also commonly cause due to increase in rbc
Which is essential for formation of RBC?
if we consider the formation of RBCs Erythropoietin, produced by the kidneys, signals RBC formation in the red bone marrow is required. but if we consider the activation of rbc so haemoglobin is essential, in which haemoglobin consiats of single molecule so we can also say for the activation of rbc that:- IRON------>HAEMOGLOBIN------>RBC and RBC are produced as BY KIDNEY------->ERTHROPROTEIN------>RBC
What is the effect of isotonic salt solution on rbc?
Iso means same, therefore the salt solution concentration is the same as the concentration of salt within the blood cells. So nothing happens - the RBC's remain the same (no shrinking/crenating or swelling/lysing)
What is RBC Dexia's population?
RBC Dexia's population is 2,012.
