Question

What will happen to the red blood cells in a hypertonic solution?Swelling and eventual crenationShriveling while maintaining the volume of cytoplasm.No net movement or shape change to the cells.© The red blood cells will experience crenation.

Answer 1

In an hypertonic solution, red cells would experiment loss of water, which translates into reduction of the volume of the cytosol, and eventually crenation, which means the destruction of the cell by dehydration (D).
