Question

what is the effect on red blood cells if the kidney removes too many ions from the blood and makes it hypotonic to the cells?

Answer 1

Answer:

If a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell, and the cell will shrink. ... If placed in a hypotonic solution, a red blood cell will bloat up and may explode, while in a hypertonic solution, it will shrivel—making the cytoplasm dense and its contents concentrated—and may die.
