NSPORT • CONCEPT OVERVIEW PHYSIOLOGY INTERACTIVE Question What happened when the cell was surrounded by a hypotonic solution? There was no net movement of water and the cell retained its original shape. Water moved out of the cell, causing it to shrivel. Water moved into the cell, causing it to swell. otonic Submit \( \mathrm{NaCl}) \) (0.9\% NaCl) (1.5\% NaCl) RESET MY NOTES TUTORIAL SHOW HINTS

A patient was transported to a clinic for treatment following a motorcycle accident and had lost about 2 pints of blood. The attending nurse provided an intravenous drip with 0.9% salt solution, which is isotonic to red blood cells, to temporarily maintain blood pressure until a whole-blood transfusion could be provided. What would happen to the patient's red blood cells if the 0.9% salt solution was mistakenly replaced by a 10% salt solution, which is hypertonic to red blood cells? a) The cells would expand b) The cells would shrink c) The cells would be unaffected Procedure - Osmosis in Plant Cells Elodea is an aquatic plant that is often used for decoration in water gardens and aquariums. Watch the video below of a simulation to view osmosis in red blood cells, plant cells (Elodea), and a protist (Paramecium). Notice the changes in each cell type in a hypertonic and a hypotonic solution.

Which word means a solution that has less salt than the thing you are comparing it to? A) Isotonic B) Hypertonic C) Hypotonic 2. If a cell at 2% salt is placed in a solution of 1% salt, what will happen? A) the cell will expand B) the cell will stay the same C) the cell will shrivel 3. Which term describes the thing LOST when a plant shrivels? A) turgor pressure B) crenation C) hemolysis D) plasmolysis 4. A slice of potato becomes stiff after being placed in a solution. What happened? A) the cell walls of the potato stiffened to prevent water loss B) water entered the potato cells providing extra pressure C) starch from the potato was drawn into the solution and was replaced by water D) all of the above

Salt concentration of 0.5%. Which of the following statements is true if a cell is placed in a dilute solution containing 0.1% salt ions? The process of moving salt ions is by active transport. The process of moving salt ions requires the cell to expend energy. This process of moving salt ions is by osmosis. Both a and b are correct. Concentration of substances in two cells of the same kind have the same cytoplasm solution. Cell A is placed in a 2% glucose solution and cell B is placed in a 5% glucose solution. Which of the following is correct? - Cell A will swell more than cell B. - Cell B will swell more than cell A. - Both cells will increase in size at the same rate. - Both cells will decrease in size at the same rate. The injection of large quantities of distilled water into a person's veins would cause many of the RBCs to shrink, swell and burst, agglutinate, or carry more oxygen. If 0.9% NaCl were isotonic to a cell, then which statement is correct? - 0.9% would also be hypotonic. - 0.9% would also be hypertonic. - 1.0% would be hypertonic. - 1.0% would be hypotonic.
