Why should blood plasma have the same concentration as the blood cells?

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration through a selectively permeable membrane. If there is a high solute concentration outside the cell, water will leave body cells by osmosis - leading to plasmolysis (cell shrinking). If there is a high water concentration it will enter the cell by osmosis and the cell will burst.

Blood consists of cells and a liquidWhat is the name of the liquid?
Blood consists of plasma, blood cells, and platelets
What is the four components of blood?
The four major components in blood are: -Plasma -Platelets -Red Blood Cells -White Blood Cells
What is in the blood?
Blood consists of plasma, red blood cells, and white blood cells. The red are for transporting oxygen, and the white are for killing things that should not be in the blood. The plasma is 55 % of the blood. The plasma is there for moving things that are not gonna be used anymore, like C02 urin, and milkacid.
What are the 4 parts that make up your blood?
White blood cells Red blood cells Blood plasma Platelets
Red blood cells contain a higher concentration of potassium than the surrounding blood plasma does This higher concentration is maintained by the process of?
4, Active Transport. this is the question from castel learning.
What is hemo-concentration?
Hemoconcentration occurs when there is an increase in the concentration of blood cells as the result of the loss of plasma from the bloodstream. A decrease in volume of plasma and an increase in red blood circulating.
If body cells lack ldl receptors the plasma concentration of ldl molecules?
increases and the blood cholesterol concentration increases.
Is potassium concentrated mroe in red blood cells?
The concentration of potassium within red blood cells is much higher than in the surrounding plasma or serum
What is the name of the liquid that carries platelets red blood cells and white blood cells around in the body?
it is plasma
What traps blood cells and plasma?
Fibrin traps blood cells and plasma.
Why use plasma concentration rather than blood concentration in monitoring drug concentration in the body?
Most compounds are given as their concentration in blood plasma as well as with the conditions of collection. It is a form of standardization used in order to compare results across laboratories and over time. As blood volume and percent hematocrit (a measure of red blood cells) are fairly constant relative to body mass using the concentration in plasma ensures consistency in measurement. Another factor is that red blood cells are not equilibrated with the concentration of all compounds outside the cell equally. Transportation of compounds across the cell membrane is regulated.
