Question

What happen when we place the blood cell in water (hypotonic solution) ?

Please it's urgent​​

Answer 1

Answer:

Red blood cells placed in a solution with a higher water concentration compared to their contents (eg;pure water) will gain water by osmosis, swell up and burst. Water will diffuse from a higher water concentration outside the cell to a lower water concentration inside the cell.

Explanation:

Answer 2

An animal cell doesn't have a cell wall and hence cannot resist drastic changes in the surrounding environment. The cell gains water by osmosis and as there is no cell wall to regulate the turgidity of the cell, the cell will eventually burst.
