Crenation occurs when a blood cell is placed in a?
Hypotonic solution
Will a 2 percent solution of sodium chloride cause crenation or hemolysis of a red blood cell?
Crenation of course.
Is H2O hemolysis or 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.
What solution does crenation occur in?
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.
What happen to blood cell in 10 percent NaCL?
A 10% NaCl solution is hypertonic to a blood cell and would cause the cell to shrink, aka crenation.
What is an example of Crenation?
Crenation is an example of osmosis. In this process, the cell distorts and shrinks after being placed in a hypotonic solution.
Does crenation take place when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
Yes
Examples of crenation?
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.
Which causes water to flow out of a cell causing the cell to shrivel or even die?
crenation
What are the results when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
The cell will experience crenation and shrink. The cell will lose water through osmosis when placed in a hypertonic solution.
What is shrinking of a red blood cell due to water loss?
Crenation
What is it called when it causes a cell to shrink because of osmosis?
CRENATION An animal cell shrinks by crenation when it is placed in a hypertonic solution (the solution has more "stuff" in it than the cell.) The water from the cell moves out to the solution in an attempt to equilibrate the concentrations. In so doing, it shrivels and becomes CRENATED. Conversely, an animal cell expands and bursts in a process called LYSIS. Opposite to crenation this occurs in a hypotonic solution. Water from the solution moves into the cell in an attempt to equilibrate. The internal pressure becomes to great and the cell lyses.
