A red blood cell is removed from a person and put into a beaker containing a solution that has a lower concentration of dissolved molecules than the blood cell. When comparing the blood cell to the surrounding solution the solution is said to be
Homework Answers
When the solution has a lower concentration of dissolved molecules then the blood cell, it means it has more of the solvent and hence in comparision to the blood cell, the solution would be hypotonic.

2. Suppose there is a beaker with some red blood cells (RBC) in a buffer solution. There is a variation of the RBC concentration along the depth direction. Design a RBC sensor which can measure the RBC concentrations at various depths with the following considerations: (1) Detect only the local RBC concentration in situ; (2) minimize the disturbance to the surrounding and (3) Minimize background noise. (a) Choose an optical detection method (e.g., SPR, fluorescence, FRET, TIR, etc.). (b) Sketch...

The monovalent salt concentration (the predominant solute in the blood cell) for a sample of red blood cells is 0.19 moles/liter. If one of these red blood cells were placed in pure water (at around room temperature, 300 K), and the cell comes to hydrostatic equilibrium with the water, what is the osmotic pressure of the cell (assuming it doesn't burst)? Provide your answer in kilopascals (1 kPa = 1x103 Pa). Again, be careful, salts dissociate when dissolved, and take care...

A model of a red blood cell portrays the cell as a spherical capacitor, a positively charged liquid sphere of surface area A separated from the surrounding negatively charged fluid by a membrane of thickness t. Tiny electrodes introduced into the interior of the cell show a potential difference of 100 mV across the membrane. The membrane's thickness is estimated to be 95 nm and has a dielectric constant of 5.00 (a) If an average red blood cell has a...

1. If the concentration of salts in solution surrounding the red
blood cell is related to the osmotic pressure in the red blood
cell, then decreasing salt concentrations of the solution will
cause the cell to swell and burst.
2. If the amount of enzyme is related to the rate of the
chemical reaction, then increasing the amount of enzyme will
increase the speed of the reaction.
3. If the type of sugar provided to growing yeast is related to...

1) What is the approx saline concentration of an animal red blood cell? 2) By what process does water move across a cell membrane & does this process require cellular energy? 3) Would you predict a red blood cell placed in a 5.00% saline solution to crenate, lyse, or stay normal? Explain why. What about a red blood cell placed in a 0.10% solution? 4) Why would 2 test tubes with 0.50% saline and 0.05% saline each, become clear after...
