(a)
Interpretation:
The effect on red blood cell when it is placed in 3 % (w/v) glucose solution should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Isotonic Solution:
When two or more substances are mixed together to form a solute and a solvent then the resultant homogenous mixture is called a solution and thus, when solutions have the same osmotic pressure, then they are called isotonic solution.
Hypotonic Solution:
When the osmotic pressure is lower than the body fluids, then the resultant solution is known as hypotonic solution.
Hypertonic Solution:
When the osmotic pressure is higher than the body fluids then the resultant solution is known as hypotonic solution.
(b)
Interpretation:
The effect on red blood cells when it is placed in 0.15 M KCl solution should be determined.
