Answer 2

Red blood cells or RBCs do not shrink or swell because they are in an isotonic solution. This means the conc of plasma and RBC is equal.

Answer 3

Now can u tell the correct answer ?

Answer 4

If the RBC shrink then concentration of concentration of cytoplasm of RBC < BLOOD

Answer 5

If RBC swells then the Concentration of cytoplasm of RBC > Blood

Answer 6

If neither sweels or shrinks then Conc is equal
