What type of solution causes water to shift from the cells into the plasma?
hypertonic
What type of solution causes shrinkage of submerged red blood cells?
Hypertonic
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.
When cells are submerged in a hypertonic solution the salt concentration inside the cells is than the salt concentration outside the cells. This causes water to the cells.?
As water molecules are smaller than either Sodium or Chlorine molecules, osmosis is favoured in their leaving the cell into the salt solution. Therefore a living cell shrinks in salt solution.
What happens to a cell plant cell or animal cell when placed in following solution a hypotonic solution b isotonic solution c hypertonic solution?
When placed in an isotonic solution (i.e. a solution where the concentration of water molecules is roughly equal to the that within cells), there is equal diffusion of water into and out of the cells. Therefore, the cells find this environment suitable. In a hypotonic solution (i.e. a solution where the concentration of water molecules is much more than that within cells) water diffuses into cells as a result of which the cells swell. Excessive swelling causes the cells to burst, a phenomenon called cell lysis In a hypertonic solution (i.e. a solution where the concentration of water molecules is lesser than that within cells) water moved out from within cells to the surrounding medium. As a result of this, cells shrink.
Rupture of red blood cells placed in a hypertonic solution is called?
Yes, and this can cause the cell to explode. This is not life threatening however, because we have skin cells to protect us.

Hypertonic
How does a plant cell fight osmosis in a hypotonic solution?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water - and a hypotonic solution means it expands. a plant cell sap has a lower water potential causing the water to enter the cell - it does not fight osmosis, it works with it.
What is a rupture of the graafian follicle known as?
When ovulation occurs, the graafian follicle(s) rupture. The oocyte with surrounding cumulus cells (COC's) are expelled into the infundibulum and transported to the site of fertilization. Before and during the rupture of the graafian follicle, blood vessels will rupture too, which causes hemorrhaging. So the structure that is left behind after the oocyte is expelled, is called a corpus hemorrhagicum.
Gland with cells that rupture to realse their secretion?
holoc
What occurs when red blood cells rupture?
hemotoxin

What solution does crenation occur in?
Crenation is the loss of water from an animal cell due to osmosis. Lysis is the rupture of the cell wall due to too much water moving into an animal cell due to osmosis. Both crenation and lysis have drastic effects on the animal cell. Crenation is the equivalent of flaccid plant cells and lysis is the equivalent of turgid for plant cells. The key difference between lysis and turgid is that plants have a cellulose cell wall so do not rupture or burst the cell wall like animal cells with lysis do.
Is the rupture of red blood cells?
HemolysisDestruction of Blood Cells: the destruction of red blood cells and the release of the hemoglobin they contain.
