Peas absorb water through a process called osmosis, in which water molecules move from an area of high concentration (outside the pea) to an area of low concentration (inside the pea). As the pea takes in water, it swells and increases in size.

When placed in a hypotonic solution what will happen to the cell?

If cells are placed in a hypotonic solution the cells gain water. The hypotonic solution has lower solute concentration then the cell's cytoplasm so the water will enter via osmosis.

What would happen to a red blood cell if placed in distilled water without any solution?

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.


Would hypertonic or hypotonic blood serum cause hemolysis?

If a cell is placed into a hypotonic solution, the water will flow into the cell causing it to swell and possibly lyse. If a cell is placed into a hypertonic solution, the water will flow out of the cell causing it to crenate. So hemolysis occurs when the red blood cells lyse.
