An animal cell placed in a hypertonic solution will shrink in a process called crenation. an animal cell placed in a hypotonic solution will swell and potentially burst in a process called hemolysis.
to prevent crenation or hemolysis, an animal cell must be placed in an isotonic solution such as 0.9% (m/v) nacl or 5.0% (m/v) glucose. this does not mean that a cell has a 5.0% (m/v) glucose concentration; it just means that 5.0% (m/v) glucose will exert the same osmotic pressure as the solution inside the cell, which contains several different solutes.
a red blood cell is placed into each of the following solutions. indicate whether crenation, hemolysis, or neither will occur.
solution a: 3.21% (m/v) nacl
solution b: 1.65% (m/v) glucose
solution c: distilled h2o
solution d: 6.97% (m/v) glucose
solution e: 5.0% (m/v) glucose and 0.9%(m/v) nacl

1. beginning with all chambers of the heart in the "relaxed" phase, describe the cardiac cycle in mammals, with systole and diastole of the atria and ventricles. for each time point in the cycle you select, state the following: • whether the atria and ventricles are contracting or relaxing • whether the av valves and semilunar valves are closed or open • whether the pressure in the atria and ventricles is high or low
