What will happen when cells are in contact with 0.9 percent NaCl solution?
If the Royal Bank of Canada was replaced with a 0.2 percent sucrose solution the Canadian economy would collapse.
Why is NSS or 0.85 percent NaCl solution used in emulsifying the bacterial smear?
0.85% nacl sol or normal saline solution is used as it is an isotonic solution which will emmulsify bacterial cells and dont cause any injury ( injury due to osmotic gradient in which cell can shrink or swell/burst ). solution upto 0.98% can be used.
Is D5 0.3 naCl a hypotonic solution?
That depends entirely on what is in this solution. Hypotonic and hypertonic are relative terms to compare to solutions usually serperated by a semi-permeable membrane. Relative to a plant cell or e.g. a red blood cell the named solution of 0.3x10-5M NaCl is hypotonic, but compared to sea water it is hyper. A hypotonic solution contains a lesser concentration of impermeable solutes than the the inside cell. When a cell's cytoplasm is bathed in a hypotonic solution the water will be drawn out of the solution and into the cell by osmosis. If water molecules continue to diffuse into the cell, it will cause the cell to swell, up to the point that lysis (rupture) may occur.
What happens when bacterial cell is placed in 5 NACL?
5% NaCl solution is unusually high. And because all living organisms seek to maintain an isotonic balance with their environment,osmotic diffusion will occur in order to re-establish this balance.Hence,there will be a diffusion down the gradient i.e. from the medium containing the NaCl solution,into the bacterial cell which has solutes dissolved in it but insufficient to even out this balance.The end result will then be lysis or bursting of the bacterial cell,as it gorges in the NaCl to maintain equilibrium.
Is chlorine mined?
Chlorine itslf is not mined. The materials used to produce chlorine (NaCl) is mined. Chlorine is produced by electrolytic reaction of a chloride solution (e.g. NaCl) in a process involving a diaphragm cell or a mercury cell. The mercury cell process has been largely discontinued because of its associated loss of mercury to the environment.
What will happen if a red blood cell is placed in 50 percent NaCl solution?
A red blood cell, when placed in 50% NaCl solution, will shrink as the water contained in it will be sucked into the surrounding solution doe to the osmotic pressure difference.
What is the effect of the NaCL 0.3 percent in red blood cell?
WATER movies across the cell membrane by Osmosis
When putting 20 percent NaCl solutin what happen to human cheek cell?
It violently explodes...
What appearance would red blood cells have when they are placed in 9.0 NaCl?
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.
Red blood cells become crenated in?
when the red blood cell become crenated
What happens when a bacterial cell is placed in 10 percent Nacl with penicillin?
The cell will plasmolyze.

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).
What appearance will red blood cells have when they are placed in 9 percent NaCl?
Since a 9% saline solution is hypertonic as compared to the cell, it would crenate (crush or shrink).
What appearance will red blood cells have when they are placed in 90 percent NaCI?
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.
What is an istonic solution for red blood cells?
Nothing will happen to a red blood cell in an isotonic solution. An isotonic solution means that the amount of solvent in the solution is the same inside the cell as it is outside the cell. Osmosis occurs, but the water going into the cell equals the water leaving the cell. A red blood cell in a hypotonic solution will burst because more water will go into the cell than the water leaving it. A red blood cell in a hypertonic solution will shrivel up because more water will leave the cell than go into it.
How does sodium chloride cause lysis of red blood cell?
Basically it works like this. Blood contains about .9 % NaCl. If a hypotonic solution say .5% NaCl is introduced, the water from the solution will diffuse through osmosis into the red blood cells until they rupture (lyse). If an isotonic solution of .9%NaCl is introduced, nothing will happen. If a hypertonic solution is introduced say 1.5% NaCl the osmotic pressure will be greatest inside the red blood cell and water will leave the cells and they will shrivel. The cell membrane is for all intents and purposes impermeable to the NaCl so only water will pass through it. The water will flow from a less saline solution to a more saline solution to try to equalize the osmotic pressure.
