A condition that causes cells to swell and burst is called cytolysis. This occurs when there is an influx of water into the cell, typically due to a hypotonic environment where the solute concentration outside the cell is lower than inside. The excess water causes the cell to swell and can ultimately lead to its rupture.
A hypotonic solution, with a lower solute concentration compared to the inside of the cell, causes water to move into the cell via osmosis. This influx of water makes the cell swell and potentially burst if the osmotic pressure becomes too high.
