  What can be deduced from the graph?

  A. At Y, the net movement of Na ions between red blood cells and the NaCl solutions is zero.

  B. At X, Na and Cl ions disrupt the structure of cell membranes.

  C. At Y, the hypertonic NaCl solutions diffuse into the red blood cells.

  D. At X, water has moved by osmosis into the red blood cells.

  B. The salt solution was hypotonic and disrupted the membranes of the red blood cells.

  C. The salt solution was hypertonic and water moved into it from the red blood cells.

  D. The salt solution was hypotonic and mineral salts were lost from the red blood cells.
