Too much internal pressure, caused by water, will come from a hypotonic solution. When there is more concentration of water outside of a cell, it will compensate by taking in as much as possible to reach its equilibrium. If the pressure is too great, the cell will rupture.

Rupture of red blood cells placed in a hypertonic solution is called?
Yes, and this can cause the cell to explode. This is not life threatening however, because we have skin cells to protect us.
If an erythrocyte is placed in a hypertonic solution what will it do?
If a human red blood cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, the red blood cell will swell and eventually burst. The reason for this is because a hypotonic solution has a higher osmotic pressure compared to the cytoplasm of the red blood cell. Thus, the water from the hypotonic solution moves into the red blood cell causing it to rupture.
WHAT happen if plant cell is placed n hyper tonic solution?
cell walls rupture
What happen to blood cell in 10 percent NaCL?
A 10% NaCl solution is hypertonic to a blood cell and would cause the cell to shrink, aka crenation.
Bursting of a red blood cells in hypotonic solution?
That is not a question.Blood cells burst in hypotonic solutions because there is no equilibrium. therefore, since the solution outside of the blood cell is at a higher concentration, the solution will flow into the blood cell ( high to low concentration) and cause the cell to expand. The blood cell will burst if too much solution enters the cell.
Which solution does not cause the net movement of water into or out of a red blood cell?
An isotonic solution (in other words any solution that is isosmotic with the cytoplasm)

Is D5 0.3 naCl a hypotonic solution?
That depends entirely on what is in this solution. Hypotonic and hypertonic are relative terms to compare to solutions usually serperated by a semi-permeable membrane. Relative to a plant cell or e.g. a red blood cell the named solution of 0.3x10-5M NaCl is hypotonic, but compared to sea water it is hyper. A hypotonic solution contains a lesser concentration of impermeable solutes than the the inside cell. When a cell's cytoplasm is bathed in a hypotonic solution the water will be drawn out of the solution and into the cell by osmosis. If water molecules continue to diffuse into the cell, it will cause the cell to swell, up to the point that lysis (rupture) may occur.
How does sodium chloride cause lysis of red blood cell?
Basically it works like this. Blood contains about .9 % NaCl. If a hypotonic solution say .5% NaCl is introduced, the water from the solution will diffuse through osmosis into the red blood cells until they rupture (lyse). If an isotonic solution of .9%NaCl is introduced, nothing will happen. If a hypertonic solution is introduced say 1.5% NaCl the osmotic pressure will be greatest inside the red blood cell and water will leave the cells and they will shrivel. The cell membrane is for all intents and purposes impermeable to the NaCl so only water will pass through it. The water will flow from a less saline solution to a more saline solution to try to equalize the osmotic pressure.
What solution does crenation occur in?
Crenation is the loss of water from an animal cell due to osmosis. Lysis is the rupture of the cell wall due to too much water moving into an animal cell due to osmosis. Both crenation and lysis have drastic effects on the animal cell. Crenation is the equivalent of flaccid plant cells and lysis is the equivalent of turgid for plant cells. The key difference between lysis and turgid is that plants have a cellulose cell wall so do not rupture or burst the cell wall like animal cells with lysis do.
What different solutions can cells be in and what happenes to them?
There are three different types of solutions you can place a cell in: hypotonic (concentration of solution less than concentration of cell), isotonic (equal concentrations) and hypertonic (concentration of solution greater than concentration of cell). In a hypotonic solution, the cell will accumulate water (in an attempt to equalize the concentration difference) and will eventually rupture from the water pressure inside the cell. In an isotonic solution, the cell will do nothing. In a hypertonic solution, the cell will shrivel as the water exits the cell to dilute the solution to the same concentration as the cell. This will cause the cell to die.
What solution will cause hemolysis?
Hemolysis is the bursting of red blood cells (hemo- blood and lysis- bursting). There are three types of solutions that blood can be put into: hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic. The names of these give you some clue as to how the cell will behave in solution. Hypertonic solutions have greater osmotic pressure than the cells they contain, which will cause the cell to shrivel as its contents diffuse into the solution. Hypotonic solutions have less osmotic pressure than the cells inside of them, so the contents of solution will diffuse across the cell membrane and into the cell, eventually causing it to swell and burst (hemolysis). Isotonic solutions have osmotic pressure equal to that of the solutes they contain, so no net change is observed.
