Crenation and hemolysis A cell placed in a hypertonic solution will shrink in a process called crenation. A cell placed in a hypotonic solution will swell in a process called hemolysis. To prevent crenation or hemolysis, a cell must be placed in an isotonic solution such as 0.9% (m/v) NaCl or 5.0% (m/v) glucose. This does not mean that a cell has a 5.0% (m/v) glucose concentration; it just means that 5.0% (m/v) glucose will exert the same osmotic pressure as the solution inside the cell, which contains several different solutes. Part D

Question options:

A red blood cell is placed into each of the following solutions. Indicate whether crenation, hemolysis, or neither will occur.

Solution A: 3.21% (m/v) NaCl

Solution B: 1.65% (m/v) glucose

Solution C: distilled H2O

Solution D: 6.97% (m/v) glucose

Solution E: 5.0% (m/v) glucose and 0.9%(m/v) NaCl

Crenation: A, D, E

Hemolysis: B, C

Explanation:

Crenation is an osmotic process in which blood cells shrink while placing hypertonic or alkaline solutions.

Crention caused by these hypertonic solutions.

A: 3.21% (m/v) NaCl  (more solutes)  

D: 6.97% (m/v) glucose (more solutes)

D:  5.0% (m/v) glucose and 0.9%(m/v) NaCl  (more solutes)

Hemolysis is the destruction of red blood cells in which cells bloat up and may explode while placing in a hypotonic solution.

Hemolysis caused by these hypotonic solutions.

B: 1.65% (m/v) glucose

C: distilled H2O

answer:

convection currents in the magma drive plate tectonics. heat generated from the radioactive decay of elements deep in the interior of the earth creates magma (molten rock) in the aesthenosphere. the aesthenosphere (70 ~ 250 km) is part of the mantle, the middle sphere of the earth that extends to 2900 km.

well the answer is 2!
