A red blood cell placed in a hypertonic solution will shrink in a process called crenation. A red blood cell placed in a hypoton

ic solution will swell and potentially burst in a process called hemolysis.To prevent crenation or hemolysis, a cell must be placed in an isotonic solution such as 0.9% (m/v) NaCl or 5.0% (m/v) glucose. This does not mean that a cell has a 5.0% (m/v) glucose concentration; it just means that 5.0% (m/v) glucose will exert the same osmotic pressure as the solution inside the cell, which contains several different solutes.A red blood cell is placed into each of the following solutions. Indicate whether crenation, hemolysis, or neither will occur.Solution
A: 3.21% (m/v) NaClSolution
B: 1.65% (m/v) glucoseSolution
C: distilled H2OSolution
D: 6.97% (m/v) glucoseSolution
E: 5.0% (m/v) glucose and 0.9%(m/v) NaClDrag each solution to the appropriate bin.

Answer:

The correct answers are A. "crenation", B. "hemolysis", C. "hemolysis", D. "crenation" and E. "neither will occur".

Explanation:

0.9% (m/v) NaCl or 5.0% (m/v) glucose are isotonic solutions at which the cells will not suffer any harmful consequence. A solution with a higher concentration than the isotonic conditions would result in the cells crenation, while a solution with a lower concentration would result in the cells hemolysis. Therefore the consequences of putting the red cells to the solutions stated in the question are as following:

A: 3.21% (m/v) NaCl Solution  = crenation (higher than 0.9% (m/v) NaCl)

B: 1.65% (m/v) glucose Solution  = hemolysis (lower than 5.0% (m/v) glucose)

C: distilled H2O Solution  = hemolysis (lower than 0.9% (m/v) NaCl or 5.0% (m/v) glucose)

D: 6.97% (m/v) glucose Solution  = crenation (higher than 5.0% (m/v) glucose)

E: 5.0% (m/v) glucose and 0.9%(m/v) NaCl = neither will occur (equal to 5.0% (m/v) glucose and 0.9% (m/v) NaCl)

Mercury has a density of 13.5 g/cm^3. What would an object's density have to be for it to sink in mercury?
Lostsunrise [7]
It would have to have a density greater than the density of Mercury. For example, if an abject had a density of 14.5 g/cm^3, it would sink when put in Mercury. Hope this helps! :D

What single feature is primarily responsible for the variation of climate throughout different times of the year?
konstantin123 [22]

The Sun is the basic source of energy for the Earth which affect the growth of all living things and the Sun also affect the all the biochemical processes. We know that the amount of radiation from the Sun changes day by day due to the distance of the Earth from the Sun. The rate of Solar energy affects the Earth in two ways.

The rate of solar heating which directly affects the processes like the evaporation and condensation and indirectly it affects the cloud forming processes of the Earth. The rate at which the solar energy reaches the Earth is called as the Total Solar Irradiance or TSI. This affects the climate of the Earth in many ways.

The change in rate of cloud formation increases of decreases with the distance of the Sun from Earth and hence a warm, moderate or cold climate is formed

It also affects the formation of winds due to the low or high pressure in the water bodies and hence affect the climate in the coastal areas.

The tropical areas have hot and humid climate due to the equator which has maximum exposure to the Sun’s heat.

Hence, the Sun is one primary feature that affects the climate in the Earth.

The nurse instructs a pregnant client in the sources of protein that can be used to meet the increased daily requirement during
DerKrebs [107]
The correct answer should be 70 grams but since that's not one of the options you should choose the closest to it, which is 65 grams.

<span>The recommended intake of protein for the pregnant woman is 70 g to meet protein needs during pregnancy, while non-pregnant is only 45g/day.
</span><span> If the woman doesn't get enough protein,she may experience muscle fatigue or fluid retention. </span>

What happens when a atom loses an electron
Alex Ar [27]

It has a charge shift, which basically means, since there are 2 charges, that it'll filp it's charge:

- If the atom had a positive charge, it'll become negative

- If the atom had a negative charge, it'll become positive



Hope it helped,
