The effects of osmotic water shifts on red blood cells (RBC) can be observed experimentally by exposing the cells to hypertonic and hypotonic saline solutions. The inner fluid of RBCs is isotonic with 0.15 M NaCl. When RBCs are placed in a hypertonic solution, water leaves the cells, causing them to shrink. When RBCs are placed in a hypotonic solution, water enters the cells, causing rapid swelling, which may result in the bursting of some cells. An aliquot of 105 RBCs is added to 1 Lof water with 0.05 M NaCl. Assume that no metabolic activity is occurring in the RBCs to generate water. You are interested in writing an accounting equation on the water in the RBC as a function of time. Will the size of this system change?
