What condition occurs when too much water moves into the cell and the cell membrane bursts?
|
Plasmolysis
|
|
Exocytosis
|
|
Endocytosis
|
|
Cytolysis
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Cytolysis, or osmotic lysis, occurs when a cell bursts due to an osmotic imbalance that has caused excess water to diffuse into the cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -If placed in a hypotonic solution, water molecule s will enter the cell, causing it to swell and burst. Plant cells (bottom panel) become plasmolyzed in a hypertonic solution, but tend to do best in a hypotonic environment.
Detailed explanation-3: -Plasmolysis is the process of excessive removal of water when the cell is immersed in a hypertonic solution that causes the cell shrinkage. The excessive intake of water when the cell is immersed in a hypotonic solution that results in cell bursting is known as cytolysis.
