Want this question answered?
Osmosis is the diffusion of molecules from where they are abundant to where they are scarce through a semi permeable membrane. In red blood cells, this semi permeable membrane is the cell membrane. If red blood cells were placed in a solution abundant with water molecules, they would diffuse into the cells through the membrane
Red blood cells because that is what carries oxygen throughout the body
A hypertonic solution will cause the cell to shrink as water leaves the intracellular fluid due to osmosis. A hypotonic solution will lead to water crossing into the cell membrane, causing it to swell, leading to hemolysis.
Red Blood Cells
The four major components in blood are: -Plasma -Platelets -Red Blood Cells -White Blood Cells
The bursting of cells due to osmosis is known as cytolysis
they don't use osmosis

i don't knoww that's why im asking you!
they have a semipermeable membrane
I believe red blood cells go through diffusion...just type this question into google: how do red blood cells use diffusion? and you should get some quality answers. hope this helps!
Hemolysis is the breakdown of red blood cells.
distlled water
because of osmosis it would get fatter and fatter with water till it burst. aww.
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin. These cells are also known as erythrocytes.
Provided the concentration of salt is higher than the salt concentration in the red blood cell, the red blood cell, through the process of osmosis and the principal of diffusion, will shrink, as water flows from within the red blood cell to the solution
