Why does a raisin placed in a cup of pure water puff up?
A raisin is a dried up grape, if it is placed in water it will absorb water and regain some of its original shape and size. The process involved is called osmosis. It happens when areas of high concentration (the sugar solution inside the raisins) is separated from an area of low concentration (the water outside the grape). Physical forces try to balance the concentrations so the water passes through the grape skin (technically a semipermeable membrane) into the grape and plumps it up.
When a human red blood cell is placed in a hypertonic environment it will?
It will undergo crenation. This means that the red blood cell will shrink in size and become shrivelled-looking. This is due to osmosis, which is the net movement of water molecules from a region of higher water potential (red blood cell) to a region of lower water potential (hypertonic solution) through a partially-permeable membrane (cell membrane).
