Q. In an ________ solution, red blood cells ________. Group of answer choices:

• Hyposmotic, lose water and shrivel
• Isomotic, have a normal shape ✔️
• Isosmotic, swell and may burst
• Hyperosmotic, have a normal shape
• Isosmotic, lose water and shrivel

`\large{ \boxed{ \bf{ \color{violet}{The \: correct \: answer:}}}}`

In an isosmotic solution, red blood cells have normal shape.

Option B

Explanation:-

Osmosis : The movement of the solvent or water molecules from a solution of their higher concentration to a solution of lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane.

❍ Depending upon the osmotic concentration, There are three types of solution and their result when cell is keot inside them:

• Hyposmotic (Water enters, Swells up)
• Isosmotic(Equal flow, No change)
• Hyperosmotic(Water comes out, shrinkage)
