Starch is also a carbohydrate
When a red blood cell is placed in water, the water molecules will enter the cell rapidly as a result of osmosis. Osmosis is the process by which molecules moves through a cell permeable membrane from the region of lower concentration to that of higher concentration.
The inside of the red blood cell is more concentrated than the water in which it is placed, so water will move into the cell via osmosis.
This will make the cell to swell up and to burst open.<span />
Explanation:
Nucleus Cytoplasm
Contains the genetic material (DNA) Contains a thick gel-like substance
The most obvious structure in the cell Contains all organelles
Contains directions for cell regulation Mostly water
The nucleus is a large and obvious organelle in the cell and it provides instructions for the regulation of the cell's activities and it contains the genetic material (DNA). All organelles are embedded in the cytoplasm which is made up of mostly water.
