Low Osmolarity
Based on the result, what is known now is when osmolarity is low, the hemolysis is high; while when osmolarity is high, the hemolysis is low. This supports the hypothesis if the erythrocytes were placed into a high osmotic solution, then the erythrocytes would have a lower hemolysis percentage. As shown in graph 1, when the erythrocytes were placed into the tube containing 250 to 390 osmolarity of solution, the erythrocytes results in below 26 hemolysis percentage. When the erythrocytes were placed into the tube containing 0 to 200 low osmolarity of solution, the hemolysis percentage is not low but instead hemolysis percentage is above 75. This indicates the data supports our hypothesis.

Based on a review article on the effects of sugar, salt and distilled water on white blood cells and platelet cells suggest for further research that if salt have an impact on erythrocyte size changes, does it have the same relation with other cells such as cancer cells. For further research, the specific range of the osmolarity and hemolysis sudden drop should be investigated because 200 to 250 osmolarity is still a wide range of numbers. To understand the exact point of cell osmolarity function, that number should be looked more into. Another possible further research is would the sickle cell also have the same hemolysis percentage and osmolarity …show more content…
