Explanation:

Answer 2

If randy injects his patient with 10cc of pure water then the red blood cell near the site of injection swells up.

• Randy has given an injection of pure water also referred to as hypotonic solution which will make the concentration of water molecules around the red blood cells greater than the concentration of water molecules inside the red blood cells.
• The phenomenon in which water molecules move from higher concentration to lower concentration is called osmosis.
• Hence, osmosis will cause water molecules to move inside red blood cells and red blood cells to swell up.
