Helen has prepared 1000 mL of an IV infusion solution that contains a number of components such as electrolytes, a medication, and a buffering agent to ensure a pH close to that of blood. This preparation has an osmolality of 600 mOsmol/kg. Note that preparations that are isotonic have an osmolality close to that of blood (i.e., 285–295 mOsm/kg). 1, What is the tonicity nature of this solution? Why? Isotonic Hypertonic Hypotonic (Napra 3.2, 6.1, 6.2) 2, What solution components contribute to the tonicity nature of this solution? (Napra 3.2, 6.1, 6.2) 3, What adverse physiological changes can occur if such parenteral admixture is infused into the blood circulation of a patient? (Napra 3.2)

Please show your work. b) If you soak an animal cell that is permeable to both water and glucose in either 5.5% glucose or 0.9% NaCl (both isosmotic solutions), the cell exposed to 5.5% glucose will gain water, while the cell exposed to 0.9% NaCl will not gain water. Predict why this is the case.

Information: Osmotic pressure is the pressure that a solvent exerts against a semipermeable membrane, such as a cell membrane. The higher the solute concentration, the lower the osmotic pressure. Red blood cells have an osmotic pressure equal to that of a 0.90% (m/v) solution of sodium chloride and 5.0% (m/v) solution of dextrose. A solution that has a higher concentration that this is called hypertonic; one with a lower concentration is called hypotonic. Osmotic pressure is an important factor affecting cells. Osmoregulation is the homeostasis mechanism of an organism to reach balance in osmotic pressure.Hypertonicity is the presence of a solution that causes cells to shrink.Hypotonicity is the presence of a solution that causes cells to swell.Isotonicity is the presence of a solution that produces no change in cell volume.When a biological cell is in a hypotonic environment, the cell interior accumulates water, water flows across the cell membrane into the cell, causing it to…
