What happens if RBC is kept in hypo-tonic solution?

If red blood cells (RBCs) are kept in a hypotonic solution, water will flow into the cells due to the higher concentration of solutes inside the RBC. This can cause the cells to swell and potentially burst, a process known as hemolysis.


What animal has a nucleus in matured RBC?

A frog has a nucleus in matured RBC.


What are the Tonicity of the cell?

Cells can be placed in solutions with higher, lower, or equal concentration to the cell... 1. ISOTONIC: - a solution with equal concentration to the cell. - 0.9% NaCl solutions is isotonic to RBC (red blood cells). - isotonic solutions cause no net gain or loss of water to a cell. 2. HYPOTONIC: - solute concentration is greater on the inside of the cell (or: the outer solution has less concentration than inside). - >0.9% NaCl solutions is hypotonic to RBC (red blood cells). - causes swelling, could burst (lyse) - net gain of water 3. HYPERTONIC: - <0.9% NaCl solutions is hypertonic to RBC (red blood cells). - net loss of water from the cell. - solute concentration is greater on the outside of the cell (or: the outer solution is greater concentration than the inside). - causes the cell shrink (crenation in RBC)


What happens when a person has sickle cell anemia?

sickle cell anemia is releated with RBC . RBC will change in size ( microcytic ) and shap will change (sickling shap) that are cause in blokers vascular > then cause hypoxia in some organes that is cause tachycardia and shortness breath some time palor

If a cell lives in hypotonic environment what will happen if placed in hypertonic environment?

If a cell is used to living in a hypotonic environment, that means that there exists less solute concentration outside of the cell. Take, for example, a red blood cell (RBC). When the RBC is placed in distilled water, the RBC is hypertonic to the water. The water is hypotonic to the RBC. In this case, the RBC will swell, and in most cases rupture. However, if one were to put an RBC in very salty water, the RBC would be hypotonic to the salt water. The salt water would be a hypertonic environment. In this case, the water would diffuse out of the RBC, causing it to shrivel. Awigman


What will happen if red blood cells are transferred to seawater?

as u know, seawater is salty ,that is hypertonic.. when u place RBC in sea water it will swell and then burst.


What will happen when rbc kept in 10 percent glucose solution?

When red blood cells are placed in a 10% glucose solution, they will undergo crenation, which is the shrinking and deformation of the cells due to water loss through osmosis. The hypertonic solution causes water to move out of the cells, resulting in the cells losing their normal shape and structure.


Rupture of red blood cells placed in a hypertonic solution is called?

Yes, and this can cause the cell to explode. This is not life threatening however, because we have skin cells to protect us.


What happens to red blood cells when exposed to high altitude?

What happens to a red blood cell put in 0.9 saline?

the RBC gets swel up and it bursts


When red blood cells increase what happens?

Heart attack is also commonly cause due to increase in rbc


Which is essential for formation of RBC?

if we consider the formation of RBCs Erythropoietin, produced by the kidneys, signals RBC formation in the red bone marrow is required. but if we consider the activation of rbc so haemoglobin is essential, in which haemoglobin consiats of single molecule so we can also say for the activation of rbc that:- IRON------>HAEMOGLOBIN------>RBC and RBC are produced as BY KIDNEY------->ERTHROPROTEIN------>RBC


What is the effect of isotonic salt solution on rbc?

Iso means same, therefore the salt solution concentration is the same as the concentration of salt within the blood cells. So nothing happens - the RBC's remain the same (no shrinking/crenating or swelling/lysing)


When was RBC Ministries created?
