Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Crenation is the process of shrinkage of red blood cells when placed in a hypertonic solution, where the concentration of solutes is higher outside the cell. In an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water or solutes, and in a hypotonic solution, water moves into the cell causing it to swell, but not crenate.
