Scenаriо:A medicаl reseаrcher is studying the effect оf different intravenоus (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.
