They will actually explode or burst

So What happens is the pure water outside has a high water potential while the cytoplasm inside the animal cell is a low water potential, water will diffuse down a water potential gradient through the semi-permeable membrane of the animal cell and cause the cell to swell (inflate like a fully-blown balloon), the result is that the delicate, elastic cell membrane<span> can't tolerate the internal pressure coming from the cytoplasm so it tears causing the cell to burst.</span><span>

Which cell type in Human lacks a nucleus? What function would this cell be unable to carry out?
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Red Blood Cell lacks a nucleus, it would be unable to carry oxygen efficiently.

Explanation:

The absence of a nucleus is an adaptation of the red blood cell for its role. This allows the red blood cell to contain more hemoglobin and, therefore, carry more oxygen molecules. It also allows the cell to have its own distinctive bivalve shape, which promotes diffusion.
