Differentiate the effect of hypotonic,hypertonic and isotonic salt solution on red blood cells?

Question

this is BIOCHEMICAL PROCESSES EXPERIMENT

Answer 1

In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes on the inside is HIGHER than on the outside, so to equilibrate this, the cell must allow either the solvent to flow in or it must transport the solutes out of the cell. In an experiment, there is no active transport, so the only way to equilibrate the concentrations on the insides and outsides of the cell is by osmosis, the diffusion of water. In a hypotonic solution, water will flow into the cell, and if the cell cannot contain it, then it will lyse.

A hypertonic solution is when the concentration on the inside is LOWER than the outside, the it's the vice versa of the hypotonic solution situation above.

An isotonic solution means that the concentrations are equal, so the rate of water flowing in is equal to that of the rate of water flowing out.

Answer 2

If the cellular shrinks, the salt answer is hypertonic to the cellular. that is as a results of fact the answer is greater focused than the cellular's inner atmosphere, which forces water molecules out of the cellular to acheive equilibrium. that's the reason the cellular crenates (shrinks).
