Question

Why does animal cell rupture when placed in distilled water?

Answer 1

Answer:

When a plant cell is placed in pure distilled water, the water enters into the cell. Cell wall is outer rigid, protective and supportive covering of a plant cell, which prevents the bursting of plant cell by inhibiting excessive endosmosis. On the other hand animal cells rupture if they are placed in distilled water, due to the absence of cell wall

So basically the explanation for your question in short is :

Animal cell is only a thin layer of cell membrane and that is why animal cell are more likely than plant cells to burst when placed in distilled water.

I hope this helps you mate

Answer 2

Answer:

THE ANIMAL CELLS RUPTURE WHEN PLACED IN DISTILLED WATER AS THEY DO NOT HAVE RIGID CELL WALLS LIKE THE PLANT CELLS. AND BECAUSE OF THE PROCESS OF OSMOSIS, WATER ENTERS THE CELL AND EVENTUALLY, THE CELL BURSTS.
