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.
Is half-normal saline solution isotonic?
it's hypotonic
What type of solution do animal cells prefer?
I believe plant cells prefer a hypotonic solution.
Which are isotonic?
Isotonic solution is a solution in which the concentration of solutes is essentially equal to that of cytosol of the cell placed in that solution. There is no net osmotic pressure on a membrane placed between 2 isotonic solutions.
Why is saline used in microbiology?
Saline is sterilized and used to suspend and wash bacterial cells. Saline is used as distilled water would cause the cells to lyse due to osmosis. The saline solution is a solution of salt and water, it contains no source of energy.
Is normal saline hypotonic?
Normal Saline is an isotonic solution.
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
Is half normal saline solution isotonic?
it's hypotonic

Is half-normal saline solution isotonic?
it's hypotonic
Is 10 percent NaCl isotonic hypertonic or hypotonic to red blood cells?
it is hypotonicQuoting from someone else's reply to this question What_is_an_example_of_a_hypotonic_solution,"0.45% NaCl (half-normal saline solution); since normal saline is 0.9% NaCl, any solution less than 9% is hypotonic".Doesn't this mean that 10% is hypertonic?
What TPN solution should burn patients use?
Hypertonic dextrose solution
What type of solution do animal cells prefer?
I believe plant cells prefer a hypotonic solution.
What is an example of a hypotonic solution?
A hypotonic solution has less than normal tension: hypo = less, and tonic = tonicity, the concentration of solute. Examples of hypotonic solutions: (1) Sports drinks that contain salts / electrolytes (2) physiologically: a. 0.45% NaCl (half-normal saline solution); since normal saline is 0.9% NaCl, any solution less than 9% is hypotonic b. dextrose 2.5% in water c. dextrose 2% in water
Which of the following solutions may be infused intravenously to help rehydrate a severely dehydrated patient?
.45% saline solution. It is a hypotonic solution.
Is 0.8 NaCl a hypertonic solution?
That depends entirely on what solution it is in. Hypotonic and hypertonic are relative terms to compare to solutions usually serperated by a seme-permeable membrane.
What percent of saline will blood cause the solution to become red?
0.35% saline
