A gardener accidentally waters a plant with a highly concentrated salt solution. A few hours later, the plant appears wilted, and when observed under a microscope, the plant cells show that their membranes have pulled away from the cell walls, leaving gaps between the cell membrane and the wall. What process is likely causing the plant cells to exhibit this shriveled appearance?

    Scenario:A medical researcher is studying the effect of different intravenous (IV) fluids on red blood cells (RBCs). During the experiment, she places RBCs in two solutions: Solution A: After some time, the cells appear shriveled and spiky under the microscope. Solution B: The cells swell considerably, and some rupture, releasing their contents. The researcher explains that the solutions used caused changes in water movement across the cell membranes. Question:Which terms correctly describe what happens to the RBCs in Solution A and Solution B, and what type of solutions caused these effects? A. In Solution A, the RBCs crenate due to a hypertonic solution; in Solution B, they lyse due to a hypotonic solution.B. In Solution A, the RBCs lyse due to a hypotonic solution; in Solution B, they crenate due to a hypertonic solution.C. In Solution A, the RBCs lyse due to a hypertonic solution; in Solution B, they crenate due to a hypotonic solution.D. In Solution A, the RBCs become isotonic, leading to crenation; in Solution B, the RBCs lyse because both solutions were isotonic.
