What happens to an animals cell when it is placed in a very dilute external?
Due to osmosis, when the cell is in a very dilute external environment, the water in its surrounding will diffuse into the cell to reach equilibrium balancing the solutes in the cell with the dilute environment that the cell is in.
What happens to a red blood cell when placed hypotonic solution?
In isotonic solution nothing ail happen. In hypertonic solution fluid will leave the cell to dilute the external fluid, causing the cell to crenate. In Hypotonic solution fluid will move into the cell to dilute the contents of the cell, causing it to bust or haemolyse.
What will happen to the red blood cells when it is placed in a hypotonic solution?
When placed in a hypotonic solution, red blood cells will take in water due to the higher concentration of water outside the cell. This uptake of water will cause the cells to swell and potentially burst, a process known as hemolysis.
Why do red blood cells that do not contain spectrin burst more quicly when put in distilled water?
Water passively moves from an area of high water concentration (the dilute water) to low water conc. (in cell) (i.e. down the water potential). This causes the cell to swell up and its contents to dilute. It eventually stops swelling when the water potential reaches zero i.e. when the tonicity of the environment = the tonicity inside the cell. If its membrane can't cope with the swelling it may eventually burst.
Why do human cells die in freshwater?
As, human cell is an animal cell. When it is placed in an hypotonic solution like freshwater,it will finally swell and burst

How will a plant cell respond differently than a animal cell?
It will not burst when placed in a dilute solution.

What happens to a palisade cell when put in a dilute glucose solution?
When a palisade cell is placed in a dilute glucose solution, water will move into the cell by osmosis, causing the cell to swell and possibly burst if the solution is too hypotonic. This process is due to the higher concentration of water outside the cell compared to inside, leading to water moving down its concentration gradient into the cell.
What would happen to a cell if it were placed into a solution of lower osmolarity?
it would burst
What is a hypotonic solution what will happen to a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?
it swells and burst
Will beer explode if placed in the freezer?
Yes, beer can explode if placed in the freezer because the liquid expands as it freezes, causing the container to burst.
What will happen to the red blood cells when it is placed in a hypotonic solution?
When placed in a hypotonic solution, red blood cells will take in water due to the higher concentration of water outside the cell. This uptake of water will cause the cells to swell and potentially burst, a process known as hemolysis.
If the M4 selector lever is placed on burst what is the maximum number of rounds that will be fired when the trigger is pulled?
3 rds
Why does the eardrum may burst inwardly if you are in a deep sea but it may burst outwardly if you are in space?
In the sea, the external water pressure is greater than the ear's internal air pressure, so it implodes. In space, the external vacuum is less pressure than the ear's internal air pressure, so it explodes (or is 'sucked' into space.)
What will happen if you place a flammable substance near a Bunsen burner?
If placed close enough, the flammable substance will burst into flames.
