Crenation is the contraction of a cell after exposure to a hypertonic solution, due to the loss of water through osmosis.

Hemolysis is the breakdown of red blood cells.

Is crenation to plasmolysis and hemolysis is to turgor pressure true or false?

False. Crenation, plasmolysis, and hemolysis are all related to osmotic processes in cells, but turgor pressure is not directly equivalent to hemolysis. Turgor pressure is the pressure exerted by the fluid inside plant cells against the cell wall, while hemolysis refers to the bursting of red blood cells.


Will a 2 percent solution of sodium chloride cause crenation or hemolysis of a red blood cell?

A 2 percent solution of sodium chloride is considered isotonic to red blood cells, meaning it will not cause crenation (shriveling) or hemolysis (bursting). Isotonic solutions have the same osmotic pressure as red blood cells, allowing for equilibrium and maintaining cell integrity.


What solution causes crenation of the red blood cell?

In a hypotonic solution, red blood cells swell and undergo hemolysis, while in a hypertonic solution, they lose water and undergo crenation.


Does 2 percent NaCl cause crenation or hemolysis in red blood cells?

2% NaCl is hypertonic to red blood cells causing them to shrink and crenate due to water moving out of the cells by osmosis. Hemolysis is likely to occur in hypotonic solutions where red blood cells swell and burst.


Would red blood cells exhibit hemolysis or crenation in a 5.0 percent solution of glucose?

Red blood cells would exhibit crenation in a 5.0 percent solution of glucose. This is because the solution has a higher solute concentration than the cytoplasm of red blood cells, leading to water leaving the cells causing them to shrink and exhibit crenation.


Is 2.8 of NaCl hemolysis or crenation?

This should be compared to something before determination can be done. For ex. if relative to blood, 2.8 % of Nacl will cause crenation since it's more hepertonic than blood. Liquid/solute in the blood will then difuse to go out (fr its low concentration) of the RBC cell to a higher concentration wich is Nacl.


What is the difference between alpha beta and gamma hemolysis?

Alpha hemolysis is partial hemolysis resulting in a greenish discoloration of the agar, beta hemolysis is complete hemolysis resulting in a clear zone around the colony, and gamma hemolysis is no hemolysis observed.


What are the three types of hemolysis?

The three types of hemolysis are alpha hemolysis (incomplete hemolysis, causing a greenish discoloration around bacterial colonies), beta hemolysis (complete hemolysis, causing a clear zone around bacterial colonies), and gamma hemolysis (no hemolysis, with no change in the appearance of blood agar).


What solution does crenation occur in?

Crenation occurs in a hypertonic solution, where the concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than inside, causing water to leave the cell, leading to shrinkage and deformation of the cell.


What type of hemolysis is produced by s pneumoniae?

The hemolysis is called green hemolysis because of the color change in the agar.
