Discussion
State whether the following is true or false.
A red blood cell placed in distilled water will shrink.
Answer: D
It swells and bursts, because distilled water is hypotonic to the cytoplasm and water moves inward. Shrinkage happens in the opposite case, when the surroundings are hypertonic, and the puckered appearance it produces is called crenation.
