Due to lack of rigid cell wall
hemolysis
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.
In a hyptonic solution, water will move into the cells of the egg, and it will swell, and the cells will burst.
If cells are placed in distilled water, they will undergo osmosis, where water moves into the cells due to a lower concentration of solutes outside compared to inside the cells. This influx of water can cause the cells to swell and potentially burst, a process known as lysis, particularly in animal cells. Plant cells may become turgid, which is beneficial for maintaining structure, but excessive water can also lead to cell damage.
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.
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.
hemolysis
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.

Osmosis in plant cells. (water moves into plant cells by osmosis). Osmosis in animal cells. (water also diffuses in and out of animal cells by osmosis). Hope this answers your question.

The process of osmosis is occurring.
It can drown your cells, making them swell
If animal cells are placed in distilled water they will absorb water by the process called osmosis. This will make the cell swell and, if it doen not stop, eventually burst. Plant cells placed in distilled water will also absorb water by osmosis but the cell wall prevents them from swelling. Water enters the cells by osmosis because the concentration of the solution inside the cells is higher than that of the 'solution' outside. Water always moves by osmosis from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution (when they are separated by a membrane which lets water through but not dissolved substances). For a good introduction to osmosis see: http://www.chaosscience.org.uk/pub/public_html//article.php?story=20050301222247333
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.
