What would be the effect on red blood cell that 10 percent glucose solution would have?
That depends on the concentration of glucose inside of the red blood cell (RBC). If the glucose concentration inside the cells is less than the concentration outside the cell, then water will pass through the cell's membrane and into the surrounding fluid. If the concentration inside the RBC is greater than that of the outside solution, then the RBC will taken in water. Most likely, this will cause the cell to lyse open (burst) and die.
If a cell lives in hypotonic environment what will happen if placed in hypertonic environment?
If a cell is used to living in a hypotonic environment, that means that there exists less solute concentration outside of the cell. Take, for example, a red blood cell (RBC). When the RBC is placed in distilled water, the RBC is hypertonic to the water. The water is hypotonic to the RBC. In this case, the RBC will swell, and in most cases rupture. However, if one were to put an RBC in very salty water, the RBC would be hypotonic to the salt water. The salt water would be a hypertonic environment. In this case, the water would diffuse out of the RBC, causing it to shrivel. Awigman
What happens to red blood cells when exposed to high altitude?

Can you have a Tagged RBC scan preformed while receiving a unit a blood?
yes
What will happen when rbc kept in 10 percent glucose solution?
As he concentration of sugar is higher at the outer atmosphere of rbc it will gain sugar inside and loss water
Difference between rbc and wbc pipette?
RBC pipette has graduations up to mark 101 while WBC has graduations up to mark 11. The size of the bulb of RBC pipette is larger than the bulb of WBC Size of the lumen(the hollow structure)in RBC is smaller than that of the WBC pipette
Why RBC gets ruptured?
Uhhh many reasons i assume you mean in a hyponatremic state.... too little salt in your blood stream will cause RBC's to burst because water will rush in the cells to create a balance of salt to water.... short answer... OSMOSIS

Why is the hematocrit value of venous blood slightly more than that of arterial blood?
It might be due to Hamburger's effect( chloride shift). In venous blood, RBC will take up CO2 and CO2 react with water to form carbonic acid ( H2CO3). This acid will then dissociate to form hydrogen ion ( H+) and bicarbonate ion (HCO3-). HCO3- will flow out from RBC and each efflux of HCO3- will be accompanied by influx of Cl-. In some circumstances, some HCO3- and Cl- remain in RBC or maybe the rat eof exchange of HCO3- and Cl- is not the same, and this create water flow into RBC, thus volume of RBC will increase (RBC swells) and hence it's hematocrit value too.
