At 100% corn syrup solution, where there are more solutes outside the cell, the solution is ______________ (hypertonic / hypotonic) to the egg. Likewise, the egg is _______________ (hypertonic / hypotonic) to the corn syrup. In distilled water, where there are more solutes inside the cell, the solution is ________________ (hypertonic / hypotonic) to the egg. Likewise, the egg is _______________ (hypertonic / hypotonic) to the distilled water. Conclusion: A patient comes into the emergency room. She is unconscious and is obviously dehydrated. Explain what sort of inter venous solution (IV) you would inject into your patient and why? If carrot sticks are put into water and refrigerated, they become turgid or stiff. If red blood cells are given the same treatment, they explode. Account for the difference in the results. (Hint: Pay attention to the structures of the cells.) Why if you were in a life boat on the ocean and thirst, it would be harmful to drink the ocean water? What implications do these processes have on single celled organisms like bacteria and protist? What errors might have occurred in performing this lab?
