Would hypertonic or hypotonic blood serum cause hemolysis?
If a cell is placed into a hypotonic solution, the water will flow into the cell causing it to swell and possibly lyse. If a cell is placed into a hypertonic solution, the water will flow out of the cell causing it to crenate. So hemolysis occurs when the red blood cells lyse.
Is staining what you call it if you diluted a blood sample with distilled water and the red blood cells burst?
You can certainly expect the blood cells to stain the water as their cell membranes rupture from being in a hypotonic solution. The term that describes this is "To lyse". Blood cells lyse in distilled water.
Can ammonium chloride lyse red blood cells?
yes.
When red blood cells lyse what analyte is affected?
Potassium
Do red blood cell absorb water?
yes, if the blood cells absorb too much water, they can "lyse" or burst. therefore, drinking too much water is dangerous.
What is the word that means when a cell swells and burst?
hemolysisSorry hemolysis is the incorrect term for when a cell bursts. It's called cytolysis when cells burst open. Hemolysis is a type of cytolysis, referring to the bursting of red blood cells.
What happens when normal Red blood Cells are placed in hypotonic solution?
Hypotonic means that the concentration gradient is lower than what ever your comparing it to (in this case a red blood cell) since the net movement of solute goes from high to low concentration gradient solutes will move out of the red blood cell causing water to go into the cell. This will cause the cell to swell up and eventually Lyse.
If an erythrocyte is placed in a hypertonic solution what will it do?
If a human red blood cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, the red blood cell will swell and eventually burst. The reason for this is because a hypotonic solution has a higher osmotic pressure compared to the cytoplasm of the red blood cell. Thus, the water from the hypotonic solution moves into the red blood cell causing it to rupture.
What could you do to reduce interference from red blood cells?
Mix the blood in a hypotonic solution, which will cause the RBCs to lyse.
Why does the red blood cell lyse in an isosmotic solution of urea?
Urea is isosmotic to the intracellular fluid of red blood cells, but because the membranes of the blood cells are permeable to urea. Urea enters the cell at a much more rapid rate than other permeable solutes (because of the steep concentration gradient) and the cell fills to it bursts.
What is the name of the normal protein and a red blood cell?
and a red blood cell or in a red blood cell? if its in a red blood cell i would say haemoglobin
What does a white blood cell have that a red blood cell doesn't?
The white blood cell has nucleus that red blood cell does not
