Question

What happens when a Red Blood Cell is kept in concentrated saline solution?

Answer 1

this is because the saline solution is a hypertonic to the cell-which means that there are more dissolved particles in the solution outside the cell than inside the cell.Thus,by process of osmosis,water will diffuse out the cell to balance the concenttration gradient of free water molecules (moresolute also means less free water molecules).
beacuse more water flows outof the cell than back into the cell ,the cell shrinks
