What does distilled water do in an ups?
You have an UPS with a motorcycle battery in it, correct? You use the distilled water to top off the electrolyte in the cells.
What is the environment of a red blood cell when red blood cells are approximately 0.25 percent salt Red blood cells are placed in distilled water?
The distilled water is a hypotonic environment.
If plant cells are immersed in distilled water the resulting movement of water into the cells is called?
The process is called osmosis.
What happens to carrots in distilled water?
They get wet (and get cooked if it is hot)
What should be flushed through a lumen immediately before sterilization?
distilled or de-mineralized water. It creates steam inside the lumen to sterilize it
What happens when you water a plant with distilled water?
it grows
Can rusting happens with iron nail when it is kept in distilled water?
Yes, rust happens to iron nail though it is kept in distilled water.

What would happen if you placed a slice of cucumber in distilled water?
If a cucumber is placed in distilled water, the water molecules will flow into the cell by osmosis. This happens because the distilled water solution has a lower osmotic pressure than the cucumber cell.
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 happens to distilled water if you add something to it?
Nothing
What happens when you mix distilled water with salt and soup?

If you immerse your hand in distilled water will your cells lyse?
No, your dead skin cells with repel water, not allowing it to reach the live cells underneath.
What happens to animal cells when in distilled water?
When placed in an hypotonic solution (distilled water) an animal cell will engore itself with the water to the point of brakage. This is because the cell itself is an isotonic (aka: has balances mineral content) and the "mineraless" water will become attracted to the stable solution inside the cell. A diagram can be found somewhere, I suggest looking up cells and hypotonic soutions in Biology.
