Question

Give reason for RBC swell up and finally when placed in 0.1 percent NaCl solution.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

0.1% NaCl solution would be hypotonic (less concentrated) for it. If the cell is put in hypotonic solution, water flows inside the cell because water moves from less concentrated solution to more concentrated solution. As the water moves inside it would cause swelling and finally burst.
