ICF A cell placed in a hypotonic solution will gain isotonic A human RBC placed in a solution of 0.9% NaCI will experience no change in size. 0.9 Normal saline is blood cells. to the human ECF 2.0 A cell placed in a that the solute concentration is higher outside the cell than inside. solution means oss Blood cells placed in a 500 mOsm/L solution will hypertonic shrink Cells that are experiencing osmosis of water towards the are bathed in expand hypertonic solutions. Distilled water given intravenously will cause cells to expand as a result of rapid fuld hypotonic via osmosis from the ECF 0.0

Explanation / Answer

A cell place in a hypotonic solution will - expand

A human RBC place in a solution of 0.9% NaCl will experience no change in size

Normal saline is isotonic to human cell

A cell placed in a hypertonic solution means that the solute concentration is higher outside the cell than inside.


Blood cells placed in a 500 mOsm/L solution will shrink


Cells that are experiencing osmosis of water towards the _____ are bathed in hypertonic solutions. ECF

Distilled water given intravenously will cause cells to expand as a result of rapid fluid gain via osmosis from the ECF.
