The concentration of cytoplasm of RBCs could be 0.5 M.
Red blood cells would exhibit crenation in a 5.0 percent solution of glucose. This is because the solution has a higher solute concentration than the cytoplasm of red blood cells, leading to water leaving the cells causing them to shrink and exhibit crenation.
A cell placed in an isotonic solution will not shrink or swell. Isotonic means that the concentration of solutes in the solution is equal to the concentration of solutes within the cell. Since both concentrations are the same, no water flows in or out of the cell due to osmotic pressure.

No. An isotonic solution would not cause a cell to shrink, because the concentration of water in the solution and inside the cell is the same. A hypertonic solution would cause a cell to shrink.
If there is a low water concentration outside of a cell, water will tend to move from inside the cell to the outside through the process of osmosis. This can cause the cell to shrink or shrink (hypertonic solution) as water moves out to equalize the concentrations.
If you place the cell in a hypertonic solution (a solution with a higher concentration of salt than the cell) the cell membrane would shrink.
Shrinking of cytoplasm by osmosis occurs when water moves out of the cytoplasm due to a higher concentration of solutes outside the cell. This causes the cytoplasm to lose water and shrink, ultimately leading to cell dehydration and potential damage.
What causes a cell to shrink because of osmosis?
The cell will undergo osmosis, with water moving out of the cell to dilute the higher concentration of salt outside. This will cause the cell to shrink as water leaves the cytoplasm to balance the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell.
When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution with higher solute concentration than inside the cell, water will move out of the cell via osmosis to balance the concentration. This loss of water causes the cell to shrink and may lead to cell dehydration and potential cell death.
Breasts neither grow or shrink.
Red blood cells would exhibit crenation in a 5.0 percent solution of glucose. This is because the solution has a higher solute concentration than the cytoplasm of red blood cells, leading to water leaving the cells causing them to shrink and exhibit crenation.
A hypertonic solution has more solutes than a cell, where the cell shrinks and possibly dies but a hypotonic solution, meanwhile, has less solutes than a cell where the cell expands and possibly bursts.
A cell placed in an isotonic solution will not shrink or swell. Isotonic means that the concentration of solutes in the solution is equal to the concentration of solutes within the cell. Since both concentrations are the same, no water flows in or out of the cell due to osmotic pressure.
Undergoing dehydration or plasmolysis due to loss of water. This can occur when the cell is placed in a hypertonic environment where water is drawn out of the cell, causing the cytoplasm to shrink away from the cell wall.
When a cell is placed in a solution with a higher solute concentration than the cell's cytoplasm, water will move out of the cell through osmosis, causing the cell to shrink or plasmolyze. This occurs because water moves from an area of high concentration (outside the cell) to an area of low concentration (inside the cell), leading to a decrease in the cell's volume.
