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

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.


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.


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 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.

Is crenation same crilination?

No, crenation and crilination are not the same. Crenation refers to the process where red blood cells shrink and develop a notched or scalloped edge due to loss of water in a hypertonic solution. Crilination, on the other hand, is not a commonly recognized term in biological or scientific contexts. If you meant a different term, please clarify for accurate information.
