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 is the name of a condition that causes cells to swell and burst?
A condition that causes cells to swell and burst is called cytolysis. This occurs when there is an influx of water into the cell, typically due to a hypotonic environment where the solute concentration outside the cell is lower than inside. The excess water causes the cell to swell and can ultimately lead to its rupture.
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.
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

In a hyptonic solution, water will move into the cells of the egg, and it will swell, and the cells will burst.
Why do carrots in fresh water swell?
Carrots swell in fresh water due to osmosis, a process where water moves across a semi-permeable membrane. In the case of carrots, the concentration of solutes inside the carrot cells is higher than that of the surrounding fresh water. As a result, water enters the cells to balance the solute concentrations, causing the carrots to absorb water and swell.
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
Why is bad drinking too much water?
It can drown your cells, making them swell
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.
