Answer:
Solution A: crenation
Solution B: hemolysis
Solution C: hemolysis
Solution D: crenation
Solution E: crenation
Explanation:
Hemolysis is the rupturing of red blood cells, which results in the release of hemoglobin (from within the red blood cells) into the plasma. If a red blood cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water will flow into the cell, the cell will swell and hemolysis will.
Crenation: when a red blood cell is placed in a <em>hypertonic solution (</em>such as highly saline solution), the red blood cell will lose water(osmosis) and will shrink in size. The red blood cell has undergone crenation.
In order for a red blood cell to prevent from undergoing hemolysis or crenation, the cell must be placed in an<em> isotonic solution, </em>i.e either in <u>0.9% (m/v) NaCl solution</u> or <u>5% glucose solution</u>
- Solution B and Solution C are hypotonic solution, thus red blood cell has undergone hemolysis.
- Solution A, D and E are hypertonic solution. thus red blood cell has undergone crenation
Answer:
Biopolymers are natural polymers produced by the cells of living organisms. Biopolymers consist of monomeric units that are covalently bonded to form larger molecules. There are three main classes of biopolymers, classified according to the monomers used and the structure of the biopolymer formed: polynucleotides, polypeptides, and polysaccharides.
Explanation:
Answer:
As with the hydrogen-ion concentration, the concentration of the hydroxide ion can be expressed logarithmically by the pOH. The pOH of a solution is the negative logarithm of the hydroxide-ion concentration. pOH=−log[OH−] The pH of a solution can be related to the pOH.
