Dense denise is an emergency room nurse at hopeless hospital. she notices that the hospital is running short on blood, so she decides to dilute the blood with water to make it last longer. later, dr. dingo, the attending physician gets ready to give a patient a transplant. as a precaution, he puts a sample under the microscope, sees this image. he immediately begins angrily barking at denise. what happened to the blood cells?

The answer to the question: What happened to the blood cells, when Denise, the nurse, put the blood samples with water, to dilute the blood so that it would last longer, is, that the blood cells, through the process of osmosis, took in the water around them, swelled and ruptured.

Explanation:

Usually, when putting a pack of red blood cells inside a water solution will activate the cellular process of osmosis, which means, that the membrane of the cell allows water to trickle into it, as the volume of water outside the cell is higher than inside. In the process of equilibrium of concentration, the cell allows the water in, but it reaches a point when the amount in is too much and thus the cell bursts. What Dr. Dingo found under the microscope, then, was the red blood cells burst due to the water.

interphase

the period of cell growth when the cell synthesizes new molecules and organelles. the cell is not dividing and it constitutes the majority of the time spent in the cell cycle

prophase

changes occur in the nucleus and cytoplasm. the chromatin condenses to form structures (sister chromatids) visible with a light microscope and the mitotic spindle begins to form, but the nucleus is still in tact

prometaphase

the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the sister chromatids

metaphase

all the cell's duplicated chromosomes are lined up at an imaginary plane equidistant between the poles of the mitotic spindle

anaphase

begins when sister chromatids separate from each other and ending when a complete set of daughter chromosomes arrives at each of the two poles of the cell

telophase

the daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell

cytokinesis

the division of a cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells. usually occurs during telophase during mitosis. this and mitosis make up to mitotic (m) phase of the cell cycle
