What is cytololysis?
The disolution or distruction of a cellCytolysis, or osmotic lysis, occurs when a cell bursts due to an osmotic imbalance that has caused excess water to move into the cell. It occurs in a hypotonic environment, where water diffuses into the cell and causes its volume to increase. If the volume of water exceeds the cell membrane's capacity then the cell will burst.The cell will only burst if the cell is an animal cell and it will only expand if it is a plant cell.
Why human cell burst?
If you put a cell in a hypotonic environment, such as a blood cell in water, it will swell up due to osmosis and lyse.
What is Solute concentration in the environment is lower then that in the cell?
When the solute concentration is lower in the environment than in the cell, the cell is in a hypotonic solution. Water will move into the cell through osmosis because of the concentration gradient, potentially causing the cell to swell or burst.
What property of water causes cells to burst when frozen?
Expansion of water as it freezes ruptures the cell walls.
Why does a cell plant burst in a hypo tonic solution?
A plant cell bursts in a hypotonic solution because water enters the cell through osmosis, causing it to swell. The increased water uptake in a hypotonic environment creates pressure on the cell wall, eventually leading to bursting.
An animal cell that surrounded by fresh water will burst because osmosis causes?
water to move into the cell, causing the cell to swell and eventually burst due to the influx of water.
An animal cell that is surrounded by fresh water will burst because the osmosis pressure causes?
An animal cell that is surrounded by fresh water will burst because the osmotic pressure causesAn animal cell that is surrounded by fresh water will burst because the osmosis pressure causes the cytoplasm is hypertonic where it will absorb water hence swells leading it to burst.

A red blood cell placed in distilled water will swell and burst due to the diffusion of what?
3. water from the blood cell into its environment
If you place a red blood cell in disstilled water what would happen to the cell And why?
The cell would swell and burst because of the osmotic pressure causes water to move into the cell.
What is Solute concentration in the environment is lower then that in the cell?
When the solute concentration is lower in the environment than in the cell, the cell is in a hypotonic solution. Water will move into the cell through osmosis because of the concentration gradient, potentially causing the cell to swell or burst.
What do cell wall do for a cell?
maintain the cell shape and prevent the cell from burst when the surrounding environment is hypotonic
When an animal cell is placed in a hypotonic solution?
A Hypotonic environment (or solution) means that there is a lower concentration of solute in the environment that there is in the cell. Because of this, osmosis will take place and water will flow into the cell. The cell could rupture in a process known as Cytolysis. (In which the cell dies.) It will gain water and may burst.
What solution that causes a cell to swell cause of osmosis?
A hypotonic solution, with a lower solute concentration compared to the inside of the cell, causes water to move into the cell via osmosis. This influx of water makes the cell swell and potentially burst if the osmotic pressure becomes too high.
If a plant cell is in water will it burst?
NO.
What property of water causes cells to burst when frozen?
Expansion of water as it freezes ruptures the cell walls.
