Blood cells are isotonic with 0.5% sodium chloride solution. What happens if we place blood cells in a solution containing (i)1.2% NaCl (ii) 0.4% NaCl solution.

Answer»

(i) 1.2 % Sodium chloride is hypertonic than blood cells, hence cells will shrink. Plasmolysis will take place. 

(ii) 0.4% Sodium chloride solution is hypotonic than blood cell, so cells will swell. Endo osmosis will take place.
