Question

state what Will happen when human red blood cells are placed in hypertonic salt/ sugar solution

Answer 1

When a red blood cell is placed in a
hypertonic solution , it shrinks as water is
drawn out of the cell and into the surrounding
solution. If the same blood cell is placed in a
hypotonic solution , the blood cell grows in
size. Blood cells in isotonic solutions do not
shrink or swell.

Answer 2

Answer:

A red blood cell will swell and undergo hemolysis (burst) when placed in a hypotonic solution. When placed in a hypertonic solution, a red blood cell will lose water and undergo crenation (shrivel).
