Human red blood cells (RBCs) and rabbit RBCs are equilibrated in separate solutions of isotonic saline (300 mOsm/L NaCl). The human RBCs are then placed in a solution of 300 mOsm/L glycerol, which causes them to swell and burst. However, rabbit RBCs placed in 300 mOsm/L glycerol neither swell nor shrink. Based on this information, which of the following can be concluded about a 300 mOsm/L solution of glycerol for the different cell types?
A.
