Cucumber shrink in saline solution, because the saline solution draws out the water from the cucumber causing it to shrink. -Jaralzila
it dies since it enters a hypotonic solution thus making it shrink
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.
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.
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 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.
A hypertonic solution does shrink. It is when the osmotic pressure is greater than the solution that is within it.
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.
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.
during the pickling process, things shrink, which also causes the warts
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).
hypertonic :)
hypotonic solution
