A drop of blood is added into a solution and found that red blood cells will hemolyse. what solution it might be?
apply the concept based on the results observed in the lab experiment.


Sagot :

The solution might be hypotonic.

When a drop of blood is added in the hypotonic solution, it may hemolyse Or bursting of cell take place, this is because the solvent comes inside the cell due to lower concentration of solute and it becomes hemolysed.

There are three types of solutions.

  • Hypertonic condition of the solution occurs when the concentration of solute outside is higher than that inside the cell.
  • Hypotonic condition of the solution occurs, when the concentration of solute outside is lower than that inside the cell.
  • Isotonic condition of solution occurs when concentration of dissolved solute outside is equal to the concentration of solute inside the cell.
