Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer - It is considered that 0.9% salt solution and 5% glucose is isotonic for RBCs. If the RBCs are placed in a 0.2% glucose solution, it will result in the shrinking of the cells as the water will flow out of the cell.

For a red blood cell, the standard level of particle concentration for the environment is 0.6, 0.2% will make it isotonic for the cell.
