- One solution is hypertonic if it has more concentration than the cells.
- IV solution is an example of a hypertonic solution.
- Red Blood Cells in the blood are responsible for transferring oxygen.
- Low RBC symptoms include dizziness, anaemia, fatigue, etc.
- When RBC is kept in hypertonic solution then these cells start to reduce by losing water.
