The process by which a red blood cell placed in distilled water absorbs water until it burst and realease it's content into the surrounding is known as

Answer Details

The process you are referring to is called hemolysis. Hemolysis is when a red blood cell, which normally contains a high concentration of dissolved substances such as hemoglobin, bursts due to an increase in fluid pressure. This can occur when the cell is placed in a solution with a lower concentration of dissolved substances, such as distilled water. The water moves into the cell, causing it to swell and eventually burst. In contrast, osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. Plasmolysis is the shrinking of a plant cell due to water loss through osmosis. Turgidity is the normal, healthy state of a plant cell where it is swollen due to the absorption of water.
