Explanation / Answer

1. hemolysis- placing a red blood cell of concentration 0.9% NaCl into a solution of 0.1% NaCl

explanation - hemolysis occurs when placed in a hypotonic solution because water moves from outside and into the RBC.

2. crenation - placing a red blood cell in a HYPERTONIC solution.

explanation - The concentration of the solution is higher than the RBC. therefore water is drawn from the red blood cell into the solution by osmosis.

3. no change - placing a red blood cell in isotonic solution.

explanation - distilled water makes the cells to swell up and burst. isotonic solutions have a normal salt concentration which causes no change on the RBC.
