In spherocytosis, there is a defect in the membrane proteins of the red blood cells, specifically ankyrin and spectrin. These membrane proteins contribute to the biconcave shape of red blood cells therefore the loss of these proteins will lead the red blood cells to lose its biconcave shape--leading to abnormally shaped red blood cells (spheres) hence the name. This can lead to premature destruction of red blood cells and jaundice due to hyperbilirubinemia. Spherocytes do not hold oxygen and carbon dioxide well as spherocytes have a decreased surface area.
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)
