What would happen if a cell's lysosomes burst? Quick Answer. If a cell's lysosomes burst, the enzymes released would severely damage various components of the cell, potentially killing it. Lysosomes are small, membrane-bound vesicles, or containers, which the cell fills with powerful digestive enzymes for use when needed to digest food items.
When a cell is placed in a hyperosmotic medium, it tends to. lose water into the. medium outside the cell. This results in plasmolysis. When the cell is placed in a. hypoosmotic medium, water enters the cell and it swells. Red blood cells burst open in. water because water is a hypoosmotic medium to them. A cell in an isoosmotic medium. will not appreciably gain or lose water.
