When red onions are placed in a solution with fifteenth percent salt and forty- five percent water, the water leaves the red onion cells through osmosis until the cell membrane will eventually collapse.

∙ 13y agoThe solution is 0.7% salt and 99.3% water the solution is hypotonic to the blood cell.
When you place a cell into a hypotonic solution all of the water from the solution will come into the cell in order to equalize pressure. but because it cannot equalize it, the cell will eventually burst.

How does your blood carry carbon dioxide and lactic acid?
in solution
What must happen to the other molecules for them to get into the blood?
they must be broken down and it should absorb into the blood
What is mean by alsever solution?
Alsever's solution is a saline-based liquid added to freshly collected blood to prevent coagulation and preserve the blood cells until needed. After adding Alsever's solution to the blood (1:1 volume ratio), the mix can be put at 4 degrees Centrigrade (refrigerator) for up to 10 weeks. I believe the ingredients are glucose (dextrose), sodium chloride, sodium citrate, and citric acid.
What is refers to the amount of blood in a body averaging 6 to 8 percent of total body weight for an adult human?
blood volume
What will happen to a person treated with ACE inhibitors?
Hopefully lower their blood pressure.
What will happen if a red blood cell is placed in 50 percent NaCl solution?
A red blood cell, when placed in 50% NaCl solution, will shrink as the water contained in it will be sucked into the surrounding solution doe to the osmotic pressure difference.
What will happen to human red blood cells if they are placed in the ringer solution?
_crenate
What would happen to a red blood cell if placed in distilled water without any solution?
no
What will happen when red blood cells are kept in 10 percent glucose solution?
nothing
What will happen to a red blood cell when placed in a strong salt solution?
It will shrivel up and possibly die.
Human red blood cells placed in a 2 percent percent salt solution appear to shrink but those placed in a 0.4 percent salt solution burst Which statement best supports these observation?
Osmosis may occur in either direction across the cell membrane.
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.
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.
What will happen to a red blood cell if placed in a bowl of concentrated salt solution?
Water will leave the cell and the cell will shrink and shrivel.
What will happen if one of your red blood cells is placed in an environment with a lot of salt?
The water will flow out of the cell into the hypertonic solution and the red blood cell will crenate (crush).
What would happen to a blood cell placed in a hyper tonic salt solution?
It would crenate (shrivel up). The water within would exit the cell to attempt to balance the excess salt concentration in the solution.
What happen to blood cell in 10 percent NaCL?
A 10% NaCl solution is hypertonic to a blood cell and would cause the cell to shrink, aka crenation.
