A student places 4ml of each solution into different test tubes. After checking to ensure that all the tubes had the same volume, he added 1 ml of blood that had come from a patient with sickle cell anemia to each tube. He then measured how much time elapsed before the cells at the bottom f the tube started to sickle. After repeating the process four times, the average time for sickling to occur was:500 mM Sucrose-------4 min 18 sec300 mM NaCl-----------2 min 11 sec100 mM NaCl-----------21 min 24 secsaline---------------------7 min 35 sec2) Determine the tonicity of each of the solutions tested.3) Compare the solute and water concentration of each solution t the solute and water concentration found in the red blood cells.4) Describe what should happen to the red blood cells after they were placed into each of the solutions. Include in your answer the movement of water and any possible changes to the shape of the cell. Rank the cells from each solution in the terms of the volume (largest to smallest).5)Assuming that hemoglobin does not leave the cell and that all red blood cells start with the same amount of Hb molecules, compare the concentration of hemoglobin found within the cells that will change after they have been placed in each of the test solutions.
