Match the type of solution with its effect on red blood cells: Turgid | Plant cell support Hypertonic | No change Isotonic | Hemolysis Hypotonic | Crenation
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to match different types of solutions (turgid, hypertonic, isotonic, and hypotonic) with their respective effects on red blood cells. We need to understand how each type of solution interacts with red blood cells to provide the correct matches.
Answer
Hypotonic | Hemolysis, Hypertonic | Crenation, Isotonic | No change
Hypotonic | Hemolysis, Hypertonic | Crenation, Isotonic | No change
Answer for screen readers
Hypotonic | Hemolysis, Hypertonic | Crenation, Isotonic | No change
More Information
The correct pairs link tonicity types with the effects on red blood cells. In a hypotonic solution, cells gain water and may burst (hemolysis). In a hypertonic solution, cells lose water and shrink (crenation). Isotonic solutions maintain equilibrium, causing no change.
Tips
It's commonly mistaken that hypertonic solutions cause cell expansion; they actually cause shrinkage.
