Crenation is an example of osmosis. In this process, the cell distorts and shrinks after being placed in a hypotonic solution.

What is the equivalent process to plasmolysis in an animal cell called?

The equivalent process to plasmolysis in an animal cell is called crenation. Crenation occurs when an animal cell shrinks and shrivels due to water leaving the cell, resulting in a decrease in cell volume.


What is a correct example of tonicity?

A correct example of tonicity is a red blood cell in a hypertonic solution, where the solution has a higher solute concentration than inside the cell causing it to shrink and undergo crenation.


Examples of crenation?

Crenation occurs when animal cells are exposed to a hypertonic solution, causing shrinkage, distortion, and often leave a scalloped appearance to the edge of the cell. A common reason for crenation in red blood cells is dehydration. It is also seen when pickling and salt-curing foods.

What is 5 percent of glucose crenation or hemolysis?

None


What is 1 percent of glucose crenation or hemolysis?

Hemolysis


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 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.


What is shrinking of a red blood cell due to water loss?

Crenation


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.
