Red cells are placed in 2 different solutions, each of 300 mOsmolar. Solution 1 has the molecule Won that does not dissociate. Solution 2 has the molecule Too that does not dissociate. The red cells contain zero Won and Too. If the Won molecules cannot cross the membrane and the Too molecules can cross the membrane, what will happen? a. The cells will lyse in both solutions because 300 mOsmolar has too few particles compared to inside the red cell. b. The cells will not lyse in both solutions because 300 mOsmolar has enough particles compared to inside the red cell. c. The cells will lyse in solution 1 but not solution 2. d. The cells will lyse in solution 2 but not solution 1.
