Question

4. Explain what would happen to the red blood cells of someone who was stranded on a desert island and drank large quantities of saltwater. (Hint: Saltwater is hypertonic to red blood cells.) (4 points) 5. Iodine (12) is not soluble in water. Explain using intermolecular forces (4 points)

Answer 1

Saltwater is an hypertonic solution having greater Concentration of solute when the red blood cell LR bc is placed in the hypertonic solution. the solution of rbe move to the salt coater due to the process of Osmosis (low conc. to high conce) hence & red blood cell (rebel get shuniled, Vice-ulonga can be happen in hypotonic sduhon.
