Osmosis and tonicity

Biology
1 answer:
Sergio039 [100]3 years ago
8 0

The blood cells likely placed in a "hypotonic solution".

<u>Option: A</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

When human blood cells are immersed in a solution with a low concentration of solute than is present in cells, osmosis allows water to pass through the cells, allowing the cells to get swollen; such a fluid is hypotonic to the cells. But when held in a solution with a greater concentration of solute, osmosis allows water to pass out of the cell, the cell is smaller and crenated in form; then a solution is hypertonic to the cells.

Healthcare facilities preserve human blood cells in a plasma solution that has the proper salt and protein ratios. Such solution is formulated to be mildly hypertonic to the red cells, thus maintaining the integrity of the cells and avoiding hemolysis.

Do you agree with the statement that they "replace" the human heart?
Alex777 [14]
Not necessarily. I have no background on this kind of thing. I would say that they do not only for the facts of 1, where would they get a new heart? 2, I was born with three holes in my heart (I swear to God) and merely got patches. 3, Replacing the heart would be hard so as though when your heart stops beating you die. There would be only a very small space of time that would have to do so.
