How does bursting of animal cells take place ​

1 Answer

Answer:

Swelling and bursting of cells is also known as lysing. This happens when the concentration of solutes inside the cell is greater than the concentration of solutes outside the cell. It has to do with diffusion and osmosis. A high solute concentration relates to a lower water concentration. Since molecules like to diffuse from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration, water will rush into the cell where the water concentration is lower causing it to swell and lyse.
