Answer 1

Answer:

It will lose water and shrink

Explanation:

When RBCs are kept in concentrated saline solution then such solution is said to be hypertonic. Hence, exosmosis i.e., water will move from inside to outside of RBC through its cell membrane due to this, RBCs will shrink.

So, the correct answer is option A.

RBC ( red blood cell) will shrink when kept in concentrated saline solution. ... This means that there will be flow of water from inside inside RBC to the outside in the saline water as through osmosis water always flows from a medium of low solute concentration to a medium where the solute concentration is high.
