Step-by-step explanation:

when the red blood cells are placed in the water, differences in concentration causes haemolysis to occur at a point,excess pressure in the cell on cell membrane causes the cell to burst, diffusion then takes places causing the molecules of the red blood cells to be distributed evenly throughout the distilled water
