When the cells of the most organisms freeze they burst which property of water causes this to occur?
water is less dense as a solid than as a liquid
What do the spores do after they burst from red blood cells?
Infect other blood cells
Does frostbite kill cells?
Yes, ice crystals form and burst the cells.
What is the scientific name for when cells swell and burst?
Lysis
Do viruses reproduce inside host cells causing them to burst?
true

Why food does not spoil in the freezer?
The chemical and biochemical reaction that cause spoilage are slowed down to the point they effectively stop. Many microorganisms are killed at these temperatures as ice crystals burst their cells (but these ice crystals also burst cells in the food, which causes other damage that degrades the quality of frozen foods).
Can you burst fat cells by pushing on them?
NO.
Which cells can be turgid and why?
Plant cells are the cells that can be turgid, because animal cells would burst.
How many glasses of water are you supposed to drink?
You should drink about 64 ounces of water a day. There is a such thing as water poisoning. It surrounds your cells with too much water, and it causes them to burst.
Could you die if your blood cells burst?
If the all burst ... yes. But if just a few burst ... no, it happens all the time.
What is it called when animal cells burst?
When animal cells burst it's called lysis.
What do the spores do after they burst from red blood cells?
Infect other blood cells

Which best describes how common cold spread in the human body?
viruses replicate inside respiratory cells.
Why is temperature extreme the primary cause of tissue damage?
High temperatures: Causes protein denaturation (unravelling) and cell membranes to effectively burst. Freezing: Cuts off blood supply by vasoconstriction leading to frostbite or localised cellular damage by causing cells to burst upon reheating.
