Answer:

Hope it helps

Explanation:

The oncotic pressure inside the cell will be greater than the pressure outside. Thus causing the cell membrane to rupture. If red blood cells are placed in pure water, water enters into the red blood cells by osmosis and the red blood cells swell up and burst while the onion cells would absorb water due to osmosis, swell and become turgid.The cell sap move conc. than surrounding water gate into the cell by osmosis; the cell swells/becomes turgid; but does not burst due to the cell wall.
