Answer:

it is because the blood cells will have too much water in them and they will burst.

Explanation:

there will be less salt inside the cells so all the water will enter the cells. if there is also salt present outside of the cell then the water and the electrolites(salt) will equalize between the inside and the outside of the cell.

<h3>How savannas different from grasslands?</h3>

The grass in the savanna is yellow and dried for the biggest part of the year, there's also lots of shrubs, and also small communities of trees that are on certain distance from one another.

The grass in the grasslands is green for the biggest part of the year because there's much more rain which is also better distributed throughout the year. This also allows lots of flowers and herbs to grow in the grasslands, thus making it have a nice spectrum of colors in between the greenness.

Thus,Grasslands are descibed as lands conqured by grasses rather than big shrubs .
