Use the description below to answer question. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a solution with a high concentration of water molecules to a solution with a lower concentration of water molecules. Another way to look at this is that water moves to where there is a high solute concentration, assuming the solute is unable to move through the membrane. This will produce osmotic pressure which develops in a system due to osmosis. The greater the possible osmotic pressure, the more likely it is that water will diffuse in that direction. Depending on the nature of a solution (hyper, hypo or isotonic) a cell placed into that solution can have various outcomes. Based on this information answer the questions below. If a 0.9% normal saline (NaCl) is considered the standard for bodily fluids and has the same solute concentration as a blood cell, if you were to give a healthy patient 3% saline which contains a higher concentration of solutes than the blood cells what would happen to your blood cells which are isotonic at the 0.9% value?
