Question 1
Table 1 shows the results for the absorbance values of different concentrations of NaCl, glucose, and tween 20. These solutions were absorbed at 540 nm and 640 nm. Table 2 shows the results of the red blood cells once they were submerged in different concentrations of NaCl and Tween 20. Something is said to be hypo-osmotic if the solution has fewer osmoles per unit volume when mixed with something else (Silverthorn, 2014). The solution in this experiment that was hypo-osmotic compared to the red blood cells was the 5% NaCl solution. When the cells were placed into this solution, they shrunk because the solution was hypo-osmotic to the cells. Something is said to be iso-osmotic when the two solutions put together have the same number of solute particles per volume (Silverthorn, 2014). The solution that was iso-osmotic to the red blood cells was the 0.9% NaCl solution, as the cells remained the same after they were added to the solution. Something is said to be hyperosmotic if the solution has a higher osmolarity then what it is mixed with (Silverthorn, 2014). The solutions that were hyperosmotic when compared to the red blood cells were the 0.2% NaCl and the 0.1% Tween 20 solutions. When the cells were added to these solutions, they expanded and …show more content…
They had a normal urobilinogen and pH value and had small amounts of specific gravity and bilirubin present. When compared with the control patient, a patient with glomerulonephritis had trace amounts of leukocytes, a high amount of protein, and a large amount of blood present. A patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus had a larger than normal amount of glucose present. A patient that was dehydrated had a big increase in their pH level and had higher then normal traces of glucose present. A patient with nephrotic syndrome had a large amount of protein and a moderate amount of bilirubin
