If you put a cell in a hypotonic environment, such as a blood cell in water, it will swell up due to osmosis and lyse.

Why do human cells die in freshwater?
As, human cell is an animal cell. When it is placed in an hypotonic solution like freshwater,it will finally swell and burst
What is the word that means that a cell swells and burst?
When a cell swells and burst
Which is best describes how the common cold spreads in the human body?
"Viruses replicate inside the cell and then burst out of the cell." Hope this helps. Got this from Apex.
Which type of cell may burst if it becomes hypotonic?
Animal cells will burst (lyse) first in a hypotonic solution because they lack a cell wall.
What do plant cells have that prevent them from swelling after an intake of too much water?
When a plant cell is full of water. It will get ready to burst. But if it tries to burst it will not. Because of something that a plant cell has. It is a Cell Wall.

viruses replicate inside respiratory cells.
An animal cell that is surrounded by fresh water will burst because the osmosis pressure causes?
An animal cell that is surrounded by fresh water will burst because the osmotic pressure causesAn animal cell that is surrounded by fresh water will burst because the osmosis pressure causes the cytoplasm is hypertonic where it will absorb water hence swells leading it to burst.
If a plant cell is in water will it burst?
NO.
What is it called when animal cells burst?
When animal cells burst it's called lysis.
Why will the cell not burst?
animal cells do no burst because the semi permiable membrane lets little water in so the cell does not become turgid.
What may cause a cell to burst?
sickness
What do cell wall do for a cell?
maintain the cell shape and prevent the cell from burst when the surrounding environment is hypotonic
Ways osmosis can affect a cell?
If water moves into a cell it becomes turgid and if an animal cell can burst. Plant cell will not burst due to cell wall. If water moves out of the cell it is known as flaccid and the cell membrane will contract make the cell smaller, again if its an animal cell.
Which type of cell may burst if it becomes hypotonic?
Animal cells will burst (lyse) first in a hypotonic solution because they lack a cell wall.
