Cucumber shrink in saline solution, because the saline solution draws out the water from the cucumber causing it to shrink. -Jaralzila

What happens to a fresh water organism in 20 percent of saline solution?

it dies since it enters a hypotonic solution thus making it shrink


What is the effect of isotonic saline solution on RBC?

Isotonic saline solution has no net effect on red blood cells (RBCs) as it has the same osmolarity as blood. This means that RBCs will neither shrink (crenate) nor swell (lyse) when placed in isotonic saline solution. The solution maintains the normal shape and function of the RBCs.


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 was the effect of the Normal Saline Solution to the cells of rhoeo discolor?

Normal saline solution (0.9% NaCl) is isotonic to cells, so it would have minimal impact on the cells of Rhoeo discolor. It would help maintain the cells' normal volume and osmotic balance without causing them to shrink or swell. Overall, the cells would not be significantly affected by exposure to normal saline solution.


Normal saline is 0.9 percent what would happen to the red blood cells of a patient who was teated with 0 percent saline what about 10 percent saline?

Normal Saline 0.9% is called an isotonic solution. A 0.0% saline solution is called a hypotonic solution. A solution of this concentration would cause water to diffuse into the red blood cells and cause them to burst open. A 10% saline solution is called a hypertonic solution. A solution of this concentration would cause water to diffuse out of the red blood cells, making them shrivel up and shrink.


Does hypertonic shrink?

A hypertonic solution does shrink. It is when the osmotic pressure is greater than the solution that is within it.


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.


Does isotonic soultion cause a cell to shrink?

No. An isotonic solution would not cause a cell to shrink, because the concentration of water in the solution and inside the cell is the same. A hypertonic solution would cause a cell to shrink.


Why are cucumbers bigger than pickles?

during the pickling process, things shrink, which also causes the warts


What would happen if fluid outside the cells became hypertonic?

Acell placed in a highly concentrated solution will result in the water molecules diffusing out of the cell. Eventually, the cell will shrink. It should be noted, however, that not all cells in a hypertonic solution will shrink. The cells have ways to circumvent hypertonicity (see osmoregulation).


What solution cause cell to shrink?

hypertonic :)


What caused a cell to shrink?

hypotonic solution
