Question

A red blood cell is placed in a 2% (m/v) NaCl solution. Identify what makes the red blood cell shrink, as shown in the figure.

Accepted Answer

The solvent from the red blood cell flows out toward the 2% (m/v) NaCl solution, which is higher in concentration.

Answer

There is no net flow between the solvents of the red blood cell and the 2% (m/v) NaCl solution.

Answer

The solute concentration of the red blood cell decreases.

Answer

The solvent from the red blood cell flows out toward the 2% (m/v) NaCl solution, which is lower in concentration.
