Question

Red blood cells appear to swell after being exposed to hypertonic plasma solutions.

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, the red blood cell swells

Explanation:

The red blood cells placed in a hypotonic solution will take in water across their membranes.

A red blood cell will swell and undergo hemolysis (burst) when placed in a hypotonic solution.

The red blood cell that is hypotonic (lower concentration outside the cell) will result in more water flowing into the cell than out. This results in swelling of the cell.
