Chapter 6, Problem 4RA
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The solution where red blood cells crenate.
Introduction:
Red blood cells are made in the bone marrow and the pigment found in these cells impart the red color to these cells. The red blood cells are small, biconcave and round in shape. The red blood cells undergo different shape changes when placed in solutions of varying solute concentrations depending on the movement of water into or out of the cell.
