A) crenation
B) hemolysis
C) reverse osmosis
D) none of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than inside the cell. This causes water to move out of the cell, leading to shrinkage and deformation of the cell, which is known as crenation. Hemolysis occurs when red blood cells are placed in a hypotonic solution, and reverse osmosis is a process used to purify water by forcing it through a membrane against the direction of natural osmosis. Therefore, the correct answer is A) crenation.
