What appearance would red blood cells have when they are placed in 9.0 NaCl?

What will happen to a red blood cell that is placed in a solution of 90 percent water and 10 percent salt is that the salt will decrease in volume due to osmosis. Meanwhile the water will enter the red blood cell, making it swell up.

∙ 9y agoNothing will happen to the red blood cells, because that concentration is close to the physiological concentration of the cell.

How is Osmosis in red blood cells?
Osmosis is the diffusion of molecules from where they are abundant to where they are scarce through a semi permeable membrane. In red blood cells, this semi permeable membrane is the cell membrane. If red blood cells were placed in a solution abundant with water molecules, they would diffuse into the cells through the membrane
What happened if you had insufficient red blood cells?
If you had insufficient red blood cells, your body would not get the oxygen that it needs. This is because red blood cells are what carries oxygen around the body.
What are 3 characteristics of a living thing?
Bone marrow, living connective tissue, blood flow and blood cells. It's living and your blood cells would protect something that is dead.
How many white blood cell are there for every 600 to 800 red blood cell?
There are 500 white blood cells to every 1000 red blood cells (or you could say there is double the amount of red blood cells). The answer would be 200 red blood cells for every 100 white blood cells.
Are there more white blood cells or red blood cells?
Yes, there are (according to research) in fact more red blood cells than white. If you would like to know WHY it is because red blood cells carry oxygen through out the body while the white blood cells fight off diseases. so our bodies develop more of them for more oxygen that we need but we don't really need so much white blood cells.
What appearance will red blood cells have when they are placed in 9.0 percent NaCl?
Since a 9% saline solution is hypertonic as compared to the cell, it would crenate (crush or shrink).

Why would red blood cells burst if you placed them in pure water?
because red blood cells are blood and if they can disolve there for they will burt cause the blood has acid in it.
What happens if red blood cells were placed into breaker with plasma?
Nothing would happen because plasma is neutral liquid for blood.
What is haemolysing?
An example would be when red blood cells burst because they have been placed in a solution that has a lower concentration of salts than blood plasma.

Suppose the test tube contained plant cells instead of red blood cells what will happened if the cells were placed in water with very little salt?
the plant cell would shrivel up and die
What would happen if red blood cells were placed in very little salt water?
If you put the blood cells in very salty water the molecules would go from a higher concentration to a lower. In conclusion the blood cells would shrink.
What happens to red blood cells when they are placed in distilled water?
because of osmosis it would get fatter and fatter with water till it burst. aww.
What does it mean when the RBC's were placed into a solution and crenation occurred?
The solution was saltier than the blood. Water leaves the blood causing the cells to become like prunes or crenated. If the opposite were true, the cells would busrt from too much water.
What type of blood cells fight colds?
The answer to that would be WHITE BLOOD CELLS
Would the normal red blood cells or sickle cells be better at transporting oxygen?
The normal red blood cells would be better because sickled red blood cells clump and are not circulated as well as normal red blood cells are.
