The process of transport that occurs by placing a blood cell in a salt solution is osmosis.
Osmosis is a passive transport in which the movement of a solvent occurs through a semipermeable membrane without any energy or protein, from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one.
- Diffusion is a process where the molecule moves from one part to another part through the membrane.
Placing a blood cell in a 1.5 percent salt solution:
-
When a blood cell is kept in salt solution there is less concentration of solvent in salt solution as blood cells have 90% water in it.
- then water content from the blood cell tries to move out into a salt solution due to the concentration gradient of water that is solvent.
Thus, this process of transport that occurs by placing a blood cell in a salt solution is osmosis.
