Animal cells will burst because they have no outer structure to allow them to keep their shape. However, plant cells have a cell wall which keeps the cell from bursting.
In distilled water, animal cells can undergo a process called osmosis, where water enters the cell due to the lower concentration of solutes outside compared to inside the cell. This influx of water can cause the cells to swell and potentially burst, a phenomenon known as lysis, since animal cells lack a rigid cell wall to prevent excessive expansion. It's crucial for animal cells to maintain an isotonic environment to prevent such damage.
no it is not true that plant and animal cells are exactly alike.
What do scientists do to adult cells to make them behave like embryos?
The distilled water is a hypotonic environment.
Tap water contains dissolved minerals that can help provide structural support to plant cells, while distilled water lacks these minerals. Therefore, tap water can potentially help plants stay crisper by providing more stability to their cells.

Exactly what they do in animal cells, they are the sites for the synthesis of proteins.
Animal cells have an endoplasmic reticulum. If you look up animals cells, you will find exactly where it is in the cell. Also, there are two type of ER. there is rough and smooth. This is in plant and animal cells.
yes i think they have water in nucleus when they are growing. but i exactly don't know it .
When placed in an hypotonic solution (distilled water) an animal cell will engore itself with the water to the point of brakage. This is because the cell itself is an isotonic (aka: has balances mineral content) and the "mineraless" water will become attracted to the stable solution inside the cell. A diagram can be found somewhere, I suggest looking up cells and hypotonic soutions in Biology.
Distilled water is neither a plant nor an animal cell; it is a pure form of water that has been purified through the process of distillation. This process removes impurities and dissolved minerals, resulting in H2O free from any cellular components. While distilled water can be used in various biological experiments, it does not possess the characteristics or functions of living cells.
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).

If the vacuoles in Elodea leaf cells are placed in distilled water, they become hypotonic. Distilled water has a lower solute concentration compared to the vacuoles of the cells, causing water to move into the cells through osmosis, leading to swelling and eventual bursting of the cells.
No, immersion of the hand in distilled water will not cause cells to lyse. Distilled water does not contain any ions or solutes that would create an osmotic gradient across the cell membrane. Therefore, there is no osmotic pressure to cause the cells to rupture.
When cells are placed in distilled water, they are exposed to a hypotonic environment, meaning the concentration of solutes outside the cell is lower than inside. As a result, water enters the cells through osmosis, causing them to swell. If the influx of water continues, the cells may eventually burst or lyse, especially if they lack a rigid cell wall, as in animal cells. Plant cells, on the other hand, may become turgid but usually do not burst due to their cell wall, which provides structural support.
