The swelling and bursting of an RBC is called Lysis
When red blood cells draw in water and burst, this process is called hemolysis. Hemolysis can occur due to various factors such as osmotic imbalances, toxins, or physical damage to the cell membrane.
When a red blood cell draws in water, it is said to undergo hemolysis, which is the process of rupturing or bursting due to excess water intake. This can happen when the cell is placed in a hypotonic solution that causes water to move into the cell, causing it to swell and potentially burst.

If a blood cell is placed in a beaker filled with pure water, it will undergo osmosis, leading to the movement of water into the cell. This influx of water causes the cell to swell and can eventually result in the cell bursting, a process known as hemolysis, due to the difference in osmotic pressure between the inside of the cell and the surrounding water.
The red blood cell would undergo hemolysis, or bursting, as water would enter the cell due to osmosis. The high concentration of water outside the cell compared to inside would cause the cell to swell and eventually burst.

albumin helps to maintain oncotic pressure in the blood
In a hypotonic solution, red blood cells swell and undergo hemolysis, while in a hypertonic solution, they lose water and undergo crenation.
No, when a red blood cell bursts, it is typically due to a hypotonic environment. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is lower than inside, causing water to flow into the cell, leading to swelling and eventual lysis (bursting). Conversely, a hypertonic solution would cause the cell to shrink as water moves out.
false- osmotic pressure draws water in capillaries hydrostatic pressure forces water out
A red blood cell will undergo hemolysis in a hypotonic environment where the surrounding solution has a lower solute concentration than inside the cell. This causes water to move into the cell by osmosis, leading to swelling and eventual bursting of the cell membrane.
when salts dissolve in water they undergo dissociation into corresponding ions.
Of course it hurts when a rabbit bites you, but it won't kill you. If it draws blood you should disinfect the area with hot water and anti-bacterial soap.
The hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration than that of the fluid in the cell. Osmosis keeps trying to bring the concentrations into equilibrium until the cell bursts.
Throw water on it. The logical answer.
