Want to know:
A red blood cell placed in a hypertonic solution will shrink in a process called crenation. A red blood cell placed in a hypotonic solution will swell and potentially burst in a process called hemolysis.To prevent crenation or hemolysis, a 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) NaClSolution B: 1.65% (m/v) glucoseSolution C: distilled H2OSolution D: 6.97% (m/v) glucoseSolution E: 5.0% (m/v) glucose and 0.9%(m/v) NaClDrag each solution to the appropriate bin.

- Read the passage from Of the Wisdom of the Ancients.Let us now consider his [Cupid’s] attributes. He is described with great elegance as a little child, and a child for ever; for things compounded are larger and are affected by age; whereas the primary seeds of things, or atoms, are minute and remain in perpetual infancy.Most truly also is he represented as naked: for all compounds (to one that considers them rightly) are masked and clothed; and there is nothing properly naked, except the primary particles of things.Bacon lists Cupid’s attributes in order toshow that Cupid is real.prove that Cupid is a child.disprove the existence of the atom.compare them to the features of the atom.
