Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The change in nature of the solution when a red blood cell is placed in
Concept Introduction:
Isotonic solution: When two solutions have the same osmotic pressure, they are said to be isotonic solutions.
Hypotonic solution: When the solution has lower osmotic pressure than body fluids, it is known as hypotonic solution.
Hypertonic solution: When the solution has higher osmotic pressure than body fluids, it is known as hypertonic solution.
(b)
Interpretation:
The change in nature of the solution when a red blood cell is placed in
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).

- 6-47 A student has a bottle labeled 0.750% albumin solution. The bottle contains exactly 5.00 mL. How much water must the student add to make the concentration of albumin become 0.125%?arrow_forwardWhat is the principal anion found in the following? a. blood plasma b. interstitial fluid c. intracellular fluidarrow_forwardA martini, weighing about 5.0 oz (142 g), contains 30.0% by mass of alcohol. About 15% of the alcohol in the martini passes directly into the bloodstream (7.0 L for an adult). Estimate the concentration of alcohol in the blood (g/cm3) of a person who drinks two martinis before dinner. (A concentration of 0.00080 g/cm3 or more is frequently considered indicative of intoxication in a normal adult.)arrow_forward
