What happens to an animals cell when it is placed in a very dilute external?
When an animal cell is placed in a very dilute external solution, water will enter the cell through osmosis. This causes the cell to swell and potentially burst, a process known as lysis. The dilute external solution has a lower solute concentration compared to the cell's cytoplasm, creating a concentration gradient that drives water into the cell.
What happens to a red blood cell when placed hypotonic solution?
In isotonic solution nothing ail happen. In hypertonic solution fluid will leave the cell to dilute the external fluid, causing the cell to crenate. In Hypotonic solution fluid will move into the cell to dilute the contents of the cell, causing it to bust or haemolyse.
Why do red blood cells that do not contain spectrin burst more quicly when put in distilled water?
Water passively moves from an area of high water concentration (the dilute water) to low water conc. (in cell) (i.e. down the water potential). This causes the cell to swell up and its contents to dilute. It eventually stops swelling when the water potential reaches zero i.e. when the tonicity of the environment = the tonicity inside the cell. If its membrane can't cope with the swelling it may eventually burst.
Why don't potato cells swell and burst when placed in distilled water?
Potatos are plants and they have cell walls.
Is a red blood cell placed in distilled water will swell and burst a chemical or physical change?
When a red blood cell is placed in distilled water it will swell and burst. This is a physical change.

How will a plant cell respond differently than a animal cell?
It will not burst when placed in a dilute solution.

What would happen to a cell if it were placed into a solution of lower osmolarity?
it would burst
What is a hypotonic solution what will happen to a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?
it swells and burst

If the M4 selector lever is placed on burst what is the maximum number of rounds that will be fired when the trigger is pulled?
3 rds
Why does the eardrum may burst inwardly if you are in a deep sea but it may burst outwardly if you are in space?
In the sea, the external water pressure is greater than the ear's internal air pressure, so it implodes. In space, the external vacuum is less pressure than the ear's internal air pressure, so it explodes (or is 'sucked' into space.)
What will happen to the red blood cells when it is placed in a hypotonic solution?
A Hypotonic solution is one in which the concentration of solutes impermeable to the cell membrane is lower than that within the cell in question, this directs the net flow of water into the cell. As animal cells, including red blood cells do not have Cell Walls to limit the swelling they will continue to take in water until they burst under the pressure.
