How does 09 percent NaCl work?
The solution of NaCl with the concentration 0,9 % is considered normal saline; the osmotic pressure is equal to the pressure in the cells.
Why does a potato not gain or lose mass in a 4 percent concentrated salt solution?
Because the environment is Isotonic (having the same or equal osmotic pressure).
What percent of dextrose solution is iso-osmotic?
5% in pure water
What is crystalloid osmotic pressure?
Colloids: is a term used to collectively refer to the large molecular weight (nominally MW > 30,000) particles present in a solution. In normal plasma, the plasma proteins are the major colloids present. As the colloids are solutes they contribute to the total osmotic pressure of the solution. This component due to the colloids is typically quite a small percent of the total osmotic pressure. It is referred to as COLLOID OSMOTIC PRESSURE (or sometimes as the ONCOTIC PRESSURE).
What osmotic effect would injecting a patient with a 10 percent saline solution have?
Injecting a patient with a 10 percent saline solution would create an osmotic effect by drawing water from the cells into the bloodstream to help balance the concentration of solutes. This can lead to an increase in blood volume and blood pressure due to the additional solutes. The osmotic effect can also affect the hydration status of the patient's cells and tissues.
Why can an 87 percent salt solution keep a frog tissue alive for observation?
because its osmotic presure is greater than of the cell
Will a 2 percent solution of sodium chloride cause crenation or hemolysis of a red blood cell?
A 2 percent solution of sodium chloride is considered isotonic to red blood cells, meaning it will not cause crenation (shriveling) or hemolysis (bursting). Isotonic solutions have the same osmotic pressure as red blood cells, allowing for equilibrium and maintaining cell integrity.
What term would you use to describe the tonicity of 0.9 percent NACL for red blood cells?
Isotonic. A 0.9% NaCl solution is isotonic to red blood cells, meaning it has the same osmotic pressure as the cytoplasm of the cells, and therefore will not cause them to shrink or swell.
If a cell with 95 percent water is placed into a solution of 10 percent salt what solution is the cell in?
If a cell containing 97% water was placed in a hypertonic solution of 10% salt and 90% water, then the cell would crenate. This occurs due to osmosis. The hypertonic solution will pull out the water which will cause the cell to shrink. It does this to reach equilibrium but equilibrium cannot be attained. The concentration of the hypertonic solution is too great for the cell or Isotonic so the permeable cell will give to the osmotic pressure being greater than turgor pressure; solute and waste will be removed from the cell causing it to shrink in size because the turgor pressure keeps the cell stable.
Why is 5 percent glucose is isotonic to cellular fluid?
A 5% glucose solution is isotonic to cellular fluid because it has the same osmotic pressure as the fluid inside the cells. This means that the concentration of solutes in the glucose solution is balanced with the concentration of solutes inside the cells, preventing fluid from moving in or out of the cells and maintaining cell volume and shape.
What osmotic effect would that cause if you inject a person with a 10 percent saline solution?
Injecting a person with a 10% saline solution would lead to an osmotic effect where water would be drawn out of cells into the bloodstream to help balance the increased salt concentration. This could potentially cause cells to shrink due to the loss of water, leading to cellular dehydration and potential complications.
What is the effect of the NaCL 0.3 percent in red blood cell?
A 0.3% NaCl solution is isotonic, meaning it has the same osmotic pressure as red blood cells. When red blood cells are placed in a 0.3% NaCl solution, there is no net movement of water in or out of the cells, resulting in no change in cell volume. This solution is often used in laboratory settings to maintain the integrity of red blood cells for experiments or storage.
