What is cytololysis?

Answer 1

The disolution or distruction of a cell
Cytolysis, 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.

Answer 2

Cytolysis occurs when a cell bursts due to an osmotic imbalance that has caused excess water to move into the cell. It occurs in a hypo-tonic environment, where water moves into the cell by osmosis and causes its volume to increase to the point where the volume exceeds the membrane's capacity and the cell bursts.

Answer 3

Cell burst because of osmotic imbalance in a hypotonic enviroment.

Answer 4

Cytolysis occurs when cells take in too much water due to osmosis and subsequently burst due to excess turgor pressure.

Answer 5

it is caused by water entering into the cell causing it swell and burst
