Crenation Occurs When a Blood Cell is Placed in A(n)

Question

Crenation occurs when a blood cell is placed in a(n)
A)isotonic solution.
B)pinocytotic solution.
C)hypotonic solution.
D)monotonic solution.
E)hypertonic solution.

Accepted Answer

Crenation occurs when a blood cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, which means the solution has a higher solute concentration than the inside of the cell. This causes water to move out of the cell, leading to shrinkage and the formation of a crenated (or "crenate") appearance.
