Red blood cells with an internal osmolality of 300 mOsM are placed in a solution of 400 mOsM of urea. Designate the solution according to its osmolality and tonicity relative to the cell and explain what happens to the cells and why.
Describe what would happen to a red blood cell with an internal osmolarity of 286 milliosmoles (mOsm) when placed in the following solutions. What term would you use to describe the solution's effect on the cell? Deionized water at 0 mOsm. Saline solution at 286 mOsm. Saline solution at 500 mOsm.
