Cells burst due to the osmotic effect. This is where the concentration of water outside the cell is greater relative to the concentration of water inside the cell. The water will flow through the cell wall and into the cytoplasm. This makes the cell turgid. If the concentration gradient is very steep, enough water will enter the cell so as to make it burst. The opposite happens if there is a greater concentration of water inside the cell - water will exit the cell and cause it to shrivel.
What else can I help you with?
Cells placed in a hypertonic solution will shrink or swell?
it will shrink the cell when place on hyper tonic solution, otherwise it will swell in contrary
What cell is osmotic equilibrium with their surrounding environments because if they swell or shrink their membranes will rupture?
Red blood cells are in osmotic equilibrium with their surrounding environments. If they swell or shrink too much, their membranes will rupture, leading to cell damage and potential cell death.
What closes the stomata and how do they do it?
The stomata close through the action of guard cells, which are specialized cells surrounding the stomatal pore. When the guard cells take up water, they swell and cause the pore to open. Conversely, when they lose water, they shrink and the pore closes. This process is controlled by signals such as light, humidity, and internal plant factors.
Why does the skin of your fingers shrink when you wash clothes for a long time '?
when we wash cloths our finger cells are dipped in hyper tonic solution they loose water by osmosis and shrink
The type of cell that controls the opening and closing of stomata is called?
guard cells
Why don't red blood cells swell or shrink in blood?
because of the amount of oxygen.

When can tell that plant cells are undergoing osmosis without using a scale?
You can tell that plant cells are undergoing osmosis if they swell or shrink. When plant cells are placed in a hypertonic solution, they lose water and shrink. Conversely, when they are placed in a hypotonic solution, they gain water and swell. These changes in cell size indicate that osmosis is occurring.
Would a carrott shrink or swell in salt water or in fresh water?
shrink in salt water. swell in fresh water.
Analogy melt is to freeze as swell is to?
AS SWELL IS TO NOT SWELL. DUHHY EVERYONE KNOWS THAT. 8-D
What concentration would use to store human red blood cells so that they would not shrink or swell?
You would need to use an isotonic solution. This one that has the same concentration of minerals as there is inside the cells.
What is the tonicity of D5LR?
D5LR is isotonic, meaning it has a similar osmotic pressure to human blood. It is commonly used for fluid resuscitation because it does not cause cells to shrink or swell.

What term would you use to describe the tonicity of 0.9 percent NACL for red blood cells?
Isotonic. A 0.9% NaCl solution is isotonic to red blood cells, meaning it has the same osmotic pressure as the cytoplasm of the cells, and therefore will not cause them to shrink or swell.
Where does mumps affect?
Your salivary glands (jaws) swell up and for men your testicles swell up and then shrink and they stay that way for the rest of your life!
