What do the spores do after they burst from red blood cells?
Infect other blood cells
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 would happen to red blood cells if they were placed in a hypotonic solution?
They would burst because a hypotonic solution relative to the cells is one where the water content is high and solute content low, so water from the solution would rush into the red blood cells causing them to burst. In other words, osmosis is occurring where water is diffusing down a concentration gradient from high potential (where it is in excess) to low potential (where there is a lower concentration).
What will happen to an egg in hypo tonic water?
In a hyptonic solution, water will move into the cells of the egg, and it will swell, and the cells will burst.
Which type of cell may burst if it becomes hypotonic?
Animal cells will burst (lyse) first in a hypotonic solution because they lack a cell wall.
Bursting of a red blood cells in hypotonic solution?
That is not a question.Blood cells burst in hypotonic solutions because there is no equilibrium. therefore, since the solution outside of the blood cell is at a higher concentration, the solution will flow into the blood cell ( high to low concentration) and cause the cell to expand. The blood cell will burst if too much solution enters the cell.
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.
5 percent glucose solution is isotonic for red blood cell if red blood cell are kept in 2 percent glucose solution what will happen to the cells. what such a solution called?
2% glucose solution is considered as a hypotonic solution for that the solution will enter the semi-permeable membrane of the red blood cells causing the cells to explode or burst. Why? It's because RBCs have a higher concentration inside it than that of the 2% glucose solution so the solution will enter the cells.

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 happens when you put a red blood cell in concentrated salt solutions?
A red blood cell placed in a concentrated sugar solution will shrink and wrinkle. The red blood cell is hypotonic and the concentrated sugar solution is hypertonic. Water will rush out of the cell causing diffusion leading to the cell's shrinking.
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 happens to red blood cells when they are placed in the solution that has higher water potential?
they absorb water through the permeable membrane and on ovr absorbing...they burst up
Normal saline is 0.9 percent what would happen to the red blood cells of a patient who was teated with 0 percent saline what about 10 percent saline?
Normal Saline 0.9% is called an isotonic solution. A 0.0% saline solution is called a hypotonic solution. A solution of this concentration would cause water to diffuse into the red blood cells and cause them to burst open. A 10% saline solution is called a hypertonic solution. A solution of this concentration would cause water to diffuse out of the red blood cells, making them shrivel up and shrink.
What is the clinical relevance of osmosis?
One possibility might be that red blood cells will burst in a less concentrated solution than the blood, so that drip lines should contain physiological saline, not water.
