Answer:
The correct answer is: <em>B. blood cells would be in a hypotonic solution, so water would rush into the cell causing it to expand and eventually burst</em>.
Explanation:
Cells have a certain solute concentration that produces an osmotic pressure of aproximately 300 mOsm. For that reason, IVs solutions must have a solute concentration which equals the cell osmotic pressure. That is usually acomplished by using an aqueous solution of NaCl 0.9% w/v or 5% w/v Glucose.
If an IV of pure water is administrated to a person, the blood cells will be in a hypotonic solution. That is, with a concentration lesser than the concentration inside the cells. Due to the difference in concentration, a net flow of water will be produced from the exterior to the cell interior. As the volume of the cell is increased, the cell membrane is damaged and eventually the cell will collapse.
False it is just the opposite if the gfr levels are increased it leads to reduced urine production.
The answer is 1000% D) Plant cells, take in small molecules through the cell membrane
<span>If factors are only
rounded up, then the estimate is an overestimate. If factors are only rounded down, then the
estimate is an underestimate. When some factors are rounded up and some are rounded
down, it is harder to tell whether the estimate is an overestimate or an underestimate.</span>
