In your experiment, you may not have seen a significant difference between ethanol, propanol and butanol in the time to lyse the cells.Pick the most likely reason for this from the list below.Watching the lysing of the erythrocytes by eye is much too sensitive and gives rise to errors.Watching the lysing of the erythrocytes by eye may not be sensitive enough to differentiate between lysis times when alcohols are added.Some of the alcohols had gone off and therefore did not act as predicted.The blood we used (horse blood) is fundamentally different to human blood and so the transport of alcohols across the membrane will be different.
