Respuesta :
A red blood cell placed in a hypertonic solution will shrink in a process calledcrenation. A red blood cell placed in a hypotonic solution will swell and potentially burst in a process called hemolysis. ... Indicate whether crenation, hemolysis, or neither will occur.
Red blood cells are the cells of the circulatory system that are vital for oxygen transport in the body. When due to certain conditions the cells shrink then it is called crenation.
The correct answer for the blank is:
Blank: Hypertonic solution
- The red blood will crenate under hypertonic solution.
- The solution having more amount of salt and electrolyte dissolved in it as compared to the normal level is called a hypertonic solution.
- When the red blood cells will be placed in hypertonic solution then the water will flow out of the cell towards the more soluted solution and the cell will shrink.
Therefore, blood cells undergo crenation when placed in hypertonic solution.
