Why do blood cells burst?
Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the body's cells. This is their main purpose. When the red blood cells burst, they lose the oxygen they were carrying, causing oxygen levels to fall.
What ruptures red blood cells and bursts vessels?
It's called cytolysis when cells burst open. Hemolysis is a type of cytolysis, referring to the bursting of red blood cells.Read more: What_is_the_term_for_when_a_cell_ruptures_or_bursts
Is staining what you call it if you diluted a blood sample with distilled water and the red blood cells burst?
You can certainly expect the blood cells to stain the water as their cell membranes rupture from being in a hypotonic solution. The term that describes this is "To lyse". Blood cells lyse in distilled water.
What cell transports oxygen?
red blood cells
What is the major difference between red blood cells and white blood cells?
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, but white blood cells do not
Why would red blood cells burst if you placed them in pure water?
because red blood cells are blood and if they can disolve there for they will burt cause the blood has acid in it.
What happens to red blood cells when they are placed in distilled water?
because of osmosis it would get fatter and fatter with water till it burst. aww.

What is Nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia?
Anemia caused by variably shaped red blood cells that burst, or hemolyze, easily.

A red blood cell placed in distilled water will swell and burst due to the diffusion of what?
3. water from the blood cell into its environment
What factors contribute to anaemia in malaria?
One stage of the malaria bacterium incubates and multiplies within red blood cells. When this process is complete the red cells burst and release their bacterial contents into the blood stream. As red blood cells are required by the body to transport oxygen this loss of them will result in anaemia.
What is haemolysing?
An example would be when red blood cells burst because they have been placed in a solution that has a lower concentration of salts than blood plasma.
Effect of hypotonic?
A hypotonic solution (meaning the salt concentration is lower outside the cell than it is on the inside) will effectively burst your cells due to the water rushing in to diffuse in the salt in your cells.
What are the the cells that carry oxygen?
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin. These cells are also known as erythrocytes.

What blood cells contain haemoglobin?
Red blood cells because that is what carries oxygen throughout the body
