What is the concentration of red blood cells?
the normal concentration of NaCl in red blood cells is 0.9%
How do the diameter and concentration of bovine red blood cells compare to human red blood cells?
bovine red blood cells are smaller and more concentrated than human rbc
What concentration would use to store human red blood cells so that they would not shrink or swell?
You would need to use an isotonic solution. This one that has the same concentration of minerals as there is inside the cells.
Red blood cells with high oxygen concentration are bright red because?
They wear red shirts
Is potassium concentrated mroe in red blood cells?
The concentration of potassium within red blood cells is much higher than in the surrounding plasma or serum
How does carbon dioxide molecules reach red blood cells from respiring tissue?
Red blood cells have the responsibility of transporting oxygen throughout the body. About 33% of the weight of a red blood cell is attributed to a specialized protein called hemoglobin. Because of this, red blood cells are often referred to as "bags of hemoglobin."
What is a chronic increase in the number of red blood cells and concentration of hemoglobin?
polycythemia
What is chronic increase in the number of red blood cells and concentration of hemoglobin?
polycythemia
Are red blood cells and blood the same?
They are not the same. White blood cells fight off infection while red blood cells carry much-needed oxygen throughout your body.
What will happen to red blood cells when they are placed in a beaker containing a water solution in which the salt concentration is much higher than the salt concentration in the red blood cells?
It's one of these answers: a. The red blood cells will absorb water and increase in size. b. The red blood cells will lose water and decrease in size. c. The red blood cells will first absorb water, then lose water and maintain their normal size. d. The red blood cells will first lose water, then absorb water, and finally double in size. A is wrong, just let you know. Still trying to figure out the answer myself.
What is the concentration of red blood cells in blood?
In terms of the salt concentration OUTSIDE the cell (in the medium), 0.15M NaCl would retain the normal condition of the red blood cell. Hope you liked it! :D
Why does dehydration result in a raised red blood cell concentration?
Dehydration reduces blood volume without changing the number of blood cells, so their concentration increases.
