Blood cells retain their normal shape in solution which are

A

hypertonic to blood

B

isotonic to blood

C

hypotonic to blood

D

isoelectronic to blood

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2
In isotonic solution, red blood cells (RBC) neither swell nor undergo plasmolysis. In hypotonic solution (i.e less concentrated solution), RBC swell and even burst. In hypertonic solution (i.e more concentration solution), RBC shrink due to plasmoysis.
