When a red blood cell loses water by osmosis the shrinking of the cell volume leads to crinkling of the plasma membrane, called
Flacidity
Bursting
Crenation
Tonicity
C.
Crenation
When the external water potential is more negative than that of the cell, the cell lose water by osmosis. Such phenomenon in red blood cell is called crenation.
Flaccid cell in botany, is a cell in which the plasma membrane is not pressed tightly against the cell wall.
Bursting of cell occurs due to an osmotic imbalance that has caused excess water to diffuse into the cell.
Tonicity is a measure of the effective osmotic pressure gradient.

With refrence to the circulatory system of human foetus, which of the following statement is not correct?
Ductus arteriosus connects the pulmonary artery to the aorta
Foetal haemoglobin combines more readily with oxygen than adult haemoglobin does
Ductus venosus carries blood from placenta and foetal gut directly to the fetal liver
Blood is pumped to the placenta by the foetal heart
Each 100 mL of human arterial blood carries 'P' mL of O2 and 'Q' mL of CO2, whereas each 100 mL of venous blood carries 'R' mL of O2 and 'S' mL of CO2. Choose the correct values of P, Q, R and S.
P =48 mL; Q=19 - 20 mL; R=52 mL; S = 14 - 15 ml
P= 19 - 20mL; Q= 48 mL; R= 14 - 15mL; S =52 mL
P = 14 - 15mL; Q = 52mL; R = 19 - 20 mL; S = 48mL
P = 52 mL; Q =14 - 15mL; R = 48 mL; S = 19 - 20 mL
