Why or why not? ped Short Answer Toolbar navigation ok BI S – ? ?? lul HI A ? nces O This question will be sent to your instructor for grading. OSMOSIS. TONICITY IN RED BLOOD CELLS INTRODUCTION LABORATORY SIMULATION PRINT Hypothesis: Red blood cells placed in an isotonic solution will shrink because osmosis will draw water out of the cells, causing their volume to decrease Strategy: I will place red blood cells into solutions with different tonicities, and I will examine the appearance of the cells under a microscope to see if the cells change. Conclusion: The cells exchange water with the solutions based on tonicity because the cells have selectively permeable membranes.
