using Tradescantia spathaceae and Human
Red blood cells, respectively. Table below
summarizes the results obtained from the
experiment. Results showed that 0.5 M KCl and
0.05 M NaCl caused the plant cell to swell and
stomates to open indicating that these
concentrations are hypotonic solutions. 0.05
KCl can be considered as the isotonic solution
for it did not cause any observable effect in the
plant cell. On the other hand 0.5 M NaCl
caused the cell to shrink. Reduction of pigment
or plasmolysis was observed. Table 2
summarizes the results obtained when human
RBCs were exposed to varying concentrations
of salt solutions. Blood cells exposed to 0.05 M
NaCl, 0.5 M KCl undergone hemolysis or
bursting of the cell. Cells exposed to 0.5 NaCl
shrinked resulting to crenation. Moreover, the
