Since a 9% saline solution is hypertonic as compared to the cell, it would crenate (crush or shrink).
Since a 9% saline solution is hypertonic as compared to the cell, it would crenate (crush or shrink).
It is hypotonic.
Isotonic
The componants of blood are as follows:plasma makes up 55-60% of whole blood. (plasma would be the clear liquid potion of blood)red cells or erythrocytes makes up 40-45% of blood volumewhite cells (leucocytes) include granulocytes and monocytes making up about 1% of blood volume.
red blood cells contain iron based pigment hemoglobin
9% NaCl is a hypertonic saline solution. Red blood cells will appear to shrink as they lose water out of the cell membrane and into the saline solution.
Since a 9% saline solution is hypertonic as compared to the cell, it would crenate (crush or shrink).
What will happen to a red blood cell that is placed in a solution of 90 percent water and 10 percent salt is that the salt will decrease in volume due to osmosis. Meanwhile the water will enter the red blood cell, making it swell up.
The distilled water is a hypotonic environment.
The EOS percent is the percent of white blood cells in the blood. The eosinophil count is used when testing for Allergies.
5.72 million red blood cells per microliter (mcL) of blood for men and 5.03 million per mcL for women. In healthy men, 41 percent to 50 percent of blood is red blood cells. In healthy women, 35 percent to 46 percent is red blood cells
15%
plasmolysis
Osmosis may occur in either direction across the cell membrane.
red blood cells are erythrocytes while white blood cells are lymphocytes.
they are spherical in shape
