Question

Lionel places red blood cells in a beaker of pure water, and then he observes their

activity under a microscope. Which is the most likely result that Lionel will observe?

Answer 1

The red blood cells will burst

Step-by-step explanation:

When the red blood cells are placed in pure water, they will gain water by osmosis, swell and finally burst due to their weak cell membranes. This process is referred to as hemolysis.
