All of the following statements are false about red blood cells that have been added to a flask of saturated NaCl solution except that A. The cells will undergo mitosis B. The cells will increase in volume C. The cell will lose water D. The cells are hypertonic relative to the surrounding medium E. The concentration of NaCl is lower outside the cells than inside

Answer

In a flask with saturated NaCl, red blood cells will lose water due to osmosis, as the NaCl concentration outside is higher, causing the cells to shrink (crenate). Therefore, the only true statement is C. The cell will lose water.
