Why is mitochondria kept in sucrose solution when extracted from cell?
Mitochondria are kept in sucrose solution to maintain their osmotic balance and prevent them from swelling or shrinking due to changes in their external environment. The sucrose solution helps to stabilize the mitochondria and maintain their structural integrity during the extraction process.
How would red blood cell behave in hypertonic solution?
Placed in a hypertonic solution(lower water potential), the red blood cell cytoplasm contains a solution of higher water concentration. Hence water molecules move by osmosis from the red blood cell through its selectively permeable membrane to the hypertonic solution.
What is an istonic solution for red blood cells?
Nothing will happen to a red blood cell in an isotonic solution. An isotonic solution means that the amount of solvent in the solution is the same inside the cell as it is outside the cell. Osmosis occurs, but the water going into the cell equals the water leaving the cell. A red blood cell in a hypotonic solution will burst because more water will go into the cell than the water leaving it. A red blood cell in a hypertonic solution will shrivel up because more water will leave the cell than go into it.
What solution will cause hemolysis?
Hemolysis is the bursting of red blood cells (hemo- blood and lysis- bursting). There are three types of solutions that blood can be put into: hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic. The names of these give you some clue as to how the cell will behave in solution. Hypertonic solutions have greater osmotic pressure than the cells they contain, which will cause the cell to shrivel as its contents diffuse into the solution. Hypotonic solutions have less osmotic pressure than the cells inside of them, so the contents of solution will diffuse across the cell membrane and into the cell, eventually causing it to swell and burst (hemolysis). Isotonic solutions have osmotic pressure equal to that of the solutes they contain, so no net change is observed.
What would happen to red onion cell if sucrose solution added?
When a red onion cell is placed in a sucrose solution, water from inside the cell will move out due to osmosis. This will cause the cell to shrink and lose its turgidity as water moves from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration (from inside the cell to the solution outside).

What is the role of sucrose in RBC lysis buffer?
The role of sucrose in lysis buffer is for subcellular fractionation. It refers to a laboratory technique that uses differential centrifugation to separate the different components of the cell.
What happens to a blood cell in a sodium solution?
If a blood cell is put into a high sodium solution it will become crenated (shrivel up). Water will flow out of the cell into the solution. If it is put in a low sodium solution it will absorb water/expand outward. If the sodium concentration of the blood cell and outside environment are the same, nothing will happen.
What is an istonic solution for red blood cells?
Nothing will happen to a red blood cell in an isotonic solution. An isotonic solution means that the amount of solvent in the solution is the same inside the cell as it is outside the cell.

Shape and size of red blood cell when put in slty solution?
A red blood cell when placed in salty solution shrinks and becomes wrinkled.
What is in a hypertonic solution that makes a red blood cell expand?
Water in a hypotonic solution will make a red blood cell expand. The water will move into the lower water concentration of the cell and the cell volume will grow.

What solution would make a red blood cell swell?
A hypotonic solution would.

Bursting of a red blood cells in hypotonic solution?
That is not a question.Blood cells burst in hypotonic solutions because there is no equilibrium. therefore, since the solution outside of the blood cell is at a higher concentration, the solution will flow into the blood cell ( high to low concentration) and cause the cell to expand. The blood cell will burst if too much solution enters the cell.
What would a blood cell do if it went into a salt solution?
It will get plasmolysed.
