What is it called when the cells start to swell up with water?
hemolysis
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.
Why brain cells swell when the blood plasma is very dilute?
Osmosis is the movement of water from a High Water (Dilute Solution) to a Low Water (Strong Solution). If blood plasma becomes very dilute with water, when it travels to the brain the brain cells will swell because the are taking on too much water. This happens because the high concentration of water (in the blood) is moving to the lower concentration of water (brain cells) making the cells swell as they are taking on too much water.
What is happening when the cells starts to swell up in water?
The process of osmosis is occurring.
Potato cells placed in distilled water will?
take up the water, swell
Do the cells in your body swell and lyse when you drink water?
No. Your cells need salt in then to swell. Also "lyse" means to break. Your cells do not break when and if you drink water. So the answer is no.
What is it called when the cells start to swell up with water?
hemolysis
What might happen if water kept entering cells but no water left the cell?
it will swell
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.
What closes the stomata and how do they do it?
Guard cells swell due to water. Your welcome

Why is bad drinking too much water?
It can drown your cells, making them swell

What cell is osmotic equilibrium with their surrounding environments because if they swell or shrink their membranes will rupture?
animal cells
What swell in pull open the stomata so the plant can breath?
The guard cells.
What the plant cells called that absorb water and swell up by absorbing water?
Turgid cell
Why are animal cells more likely to burst than plant cells when placed in distillers water?
Unlike animal cells, plant cells are unable to control the compostiton of fluid around their cell. Plant cells are normally permanetly bathed in almost pure water, which is constantly absorbed from the plants roots. Water entering a plant cell by osmosis causes the protoplast to swell and press on the cell wall. Because the cell wall is capable of only very limited expansion, a pressure builds up on it that resists the entry of further water. However animal cells do not have this ability and let constant water in, causing it to burst.
