Red blood cells become crenated in?

Red blood cells become crenated in a hypertonic solution, where the concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than inside. This causes water to move out of the cell, leading to shrinkage and the formation of crenations on the cell membrane.


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 will happen when red blood cells are kept in 10 percent glucose solution?

When red blood cells are kept in a 10% glucose solution, water will flow out of the cells due to osmosis, causing them to shrink and become crenated. This is because the solution is hypertonic compared to the inside of the red blood cells.


What does crenated mean?

It refers to a leaf or shell having a scalloped edge


Which of the diagrams shows red blood cells in the 0.65 M solution?

Since you did not include a diagram, it is impossible to pick a diagram. But RBC in a 2M solution would be crenated. That word means notched.


What appearance will red blood cells have when they are placed in 9 percent NaCl?

Since a 9% saline solution is hypertonic as compared to the cell, it would crenate (crush or shrink).


What does it mean If a disease is blood borne?

If a disease is blood borne, it mean it exists or is caused by blood or blood cells.


5 percent glucose solution is isotonic for red blood cell if red blood cell are kept in 2 percent glucose solution what will happen to the cells. what such a solution called?

2% glucose solution is considered as a hypotonic solution for that the solution will enter the semi-permeable membrane of the red blood cells causing the cells to explode or burst. Why? It's because RBCs have a higher concentration inside it than that of the 2% glucose solution so the solution will enter the cells.


What happens when a persons cells don't get enough blood?

I don't know what you mean by this as cells don't usually require blood. A blood cell is blood so it doesn't need more blood. Skin cells and other cells are not composed of blood. Blood flows through the circulatory system and is composed of red blood cells, white blood cells, and plasma. They will die.


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

When red blood cells are placed in a 9.0 percent NaCl (salt) solution, they will shrink and shrivel up due to the higher salt concentration outside the cell compared to inside. This process is called plasmolysis, and the cells will appear crenated or wrinkled under a microscope.


What has white blood?
