Crenation is the loss of water from an animal cell due to osmosis. Lysis is the rupture of the cell wall due to too much water moving into an animal cell due to osmosis. Both crenation and lysis have drastic effects on the animal cell. Crenation is the equivalent of flaccid plant cells and lysis is the equivalent of turgid for plant cells. The key difference between lysis and turgid is that plants have a cellulose cell wall so do not rupture or burst the cell wall like animal cells with lysis do.
Crenation - shrinking of cell due to osmosis (because H2O is leaving cell)
The cause of crenation:
A hypertonic solution.
Crenation happens in a hypertonic solution where water leaves the cell. The result is that the cell shrivels.
A solution greater than 0.9% NaCl is hypertonic. In such a solution, the cells shrivels up causing a process called creanation
in blood cells with hypertonic solution
When does crenation occur?
Crenation is an example of osmosis. In this process, the cell distorts and shrinks after being placed in a hypotonic solution.
Crenation of course.
Hypotonic solution
Yes
Water will flow out of the cell and the cell will shrivel in a process called crenation.

Crenation is the contraction of a cell after exposure to a hypertonic solution, due to the loss of water through osmosis.Hemolysis is the breakdown of red blood cells.
Crenation occurs when animal cells are exposed to a hypertonic solution, causing shrinkage, distortion, and often leave a scalloped appearance to the edge of the cell. A common reason for crenation in red blood cells is dehydration. It is also seen when pickling and salt-curing foods.
crenation take place
neither!
The cell will experience crenation and shrink. The cell will lose water through osmosis when placed in a hypertonic solution.
