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 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.
Potato cells placed in distilled water will?
swell up due to osmosis, as water will move from an area of higher concentration (outside the cells) to an area of lower concentration (inside the cells), causing them to expand. This can eventually lead to the cells bursting.
What is happening when the cells starts to swell up in water?
The process of osmosis is occurring.
Why do animal cells swell when in water?
Due to lack of rigid cell wall
What the plant cells called that absorb water and swell up by absorbing water?
The plant cells that absorb water and swell up are called parenchyma cells. These cells have thin cell walls and can expand to store water, aiding in plant support and growth.
Do the cells in your body swell and lyse when you drink water?
No, drinking water does not cause cells in your body to swell and lyse. Cells have mechanisms to regulate their water content, so they can expand slightly to accommodate the extra water without bursting.

What might happen if water kept entering cells but no water left the cell?
it will swell

Why is bad drinking too much water?
It can drown your cells, making them swell
What is happening when the cells starts to swell up in water?

Why do animal cells swell when in water?
Due to lack of rigid cell wall
Why are swell sharks called swell sharks?
They are called swell sharks because when they see a predator they swell up with water (or maybe oxygen I'm not sure) so that they appear bigger and scare it away.
What happens to cells in a hypotonic environment?
In a hypotonic environment, cells take in water via osmosis, causing them to swell and potentially burst if the cell wall is not strong enough to withstand the influx of water.
What is the process called when diluting red blood cells in distilled water?
I think its osmosis because the water potential in the distilled water is higher than in the red blood cell. Henceforth, water would move into the cell by osmosis. But, I don't think the cell will be diluted because it will swell and eventually haemolysis will occur.
