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.
Higher salt concentration outside cell than inside what would happen?
Through the process of osmosis, the water inside the cell would leave the cell in order to equalize the concentration of water relative to salt in and outside the cell. The cell would shrink. Salt is not passing through at all.
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.
What is the clinical relevance of osmosis?
One possibility might be that red blood cells will burst in a less concentrated solution than the blood, so that drip lines should contain physiological saline, not water.
What will happen to a cell in a hypertonic solution?
I will take the cell to be animal cell. The hypertonic solution is taken as hypertonic saline solution. The cell will shrink in that case. There will be loss of water to the exterior of the cell. The biochemical cellular functions will be adversely affected. The cell may die if the solution is sufficiently hypertonic.
Why is it easier to eat a grape than to eat a cracker?
Because grapes are juicy and easier to bite into. Saline crackers are hard and crunchy. :p
What might happen to human blood cells if placed in a beaker of salt water?
It depends on the concentration of salt within the solution. If the saline solution was less than 0.9%, then water would flow into the cells and they would swell and possible rupture. If the saline concentration was greater than 0.9%, then water would flow out of the cells and shrink which is called crenation. It the saline solution was 0.9% exactly, that is isotonic to the interior of a RBC and nothing would happen.
What is easier to eat a grape or a saltine cracker?
grapes are juice and dont break
What appearance will red blood cells have when they are placed in 90 percent NaCI?
9% NaCl is a hypertonic saline solution. Red blood cells will appear to shrink as they lose water out of the cell membrane and into the saline solution.
To investigate and predict what will happen to saline solution?
this is a question my son wrote in homework diary!!!! help
What happens when red blood cell is kept in concentrated saline solution?
The cell will seek homeostasis and attempt to balance itself with its environment. Since the external environment is more saline than the interior of the cell (hypertonic), the cell will lose water in an attempt to decrease the exterior salinity .
Is eye wash distilled water?
Eye wash is usually sterile saline solution so that it does not burn or sting when placed on the eye.
What would happen if an cell was placed in a hypertonic solution?
It would shrivel up and die, because water would flow out of the cell.
Can sterile saline be used interchangeably with injectable saline?
no sterile saline cannot be used because strile saline is different from injectable saline. strile saline is used for irrigating the wound and injectable saline in given intravenously
Where is the Saline Branch in Saline located?
The address of the Saline Branch is: 1434 Fourth Street, Saline, 71070 M
