Figure 1 shows red blood cells that have been placed in isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic solutions. Osmotic pressure causes changes in the red blood cells. Determine which type of solution is in A, B, and C and describe what is happening to the cells.

Answer :

A is hypertonic so water is leaving the cell going into the solution, the cell shrinks. B is isotonic so there is no net transfer of water. C is hypotonic so water is entering the cell from the solution, the cell expands and can rupture.
