Question

analyze a different hypothesis statement
when conducting the tonicity of red blood cells lab, if you had chosen the hypothesis, red blood cells placed in an isotonic solution will draw the water out of the cells causing the cell volume to decrease, what would you have seen when you looked under the microscope at the cells?
multiple choice
cells with irregular shapes
normal cells
cells bursting
crenation

Explanation:

In an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water into or out of the red - blood cells as the solute concentration is the same inside and outside the cell. The hypothesis is incorrect as water should not be drawn out of cells in an isotonic solution. Normal cells would be seen under the microscope as there is no change in cell volume due to balanced osmotic pressure.

Answer:

normal cells
