What will happen if you put a red blood cell in pure water?

Duh, dont know. My guess it'll be so small you wont even notice.

Pure water.  The ice will have to melt before it could boil.  Water doesn't go through sublimation

Without pasting a book in here from another webpage and without adding info that you didn't ask for: you can accept A and O, anything other than that will kill you. The existing blood will attack the new blood.

the cell would not be able to grow or repair it self...the cell would most likely die.

Are you asking what the effect of putting your hand in lukewarm water will be?  Your hand will most likely get wet, in fact, it may even get pruny.  I suggest that you see a neurosurgeon as soon as possible.

You would die from the drop in your sodium level before you could ever 'drown"  Its called watering posioning. I have included a link for you

3/4 th of the human body is water. Blood is the best medium for water to circulate the water along with blood, so that no part of body gets dehydrated.The blood mostly consists of plasma which is mostly water. Thus most of the blood or almost all the blood is water.

That is too vague a question. There will be different answers if you mean what will happen if a cell is placed in a liquid SOLUTION which has more of a specific substance than the cell. It will also be different if the solution you are talking about is simple air or only one gas.\nGenerally, however, the cell will attempt to balance the pressure within its membrane and outside its membrane in order to stop itself from exapnding so much it rips it self apart (There are only a certain number of lipids in the lipid bilayer of cells, and if the surface area of the cell increases too much, they will not be able to keept in contact with each other and therefore keep the membrane intact) or becomming squished because it cannot counter the outside pressure and is therefore forced to fold in upon itself.

Your getting rid of water and salt. Your body will need water and electrolytes to survive. These cells shrivel up due to a mostly hypotonic solution.

They would immediately become... LESS THIRSTY!\n\nHeh.  Deionized water is just a fancy name for extremely pure water.  It has been so thoroughly cleaned by filtration and iron exchange that it has a resistance to electric current of 18 megaohms... much greater than ordinary tap water.  It's got no negative impacts on the human body (well, I suppose you could drown in it) so you could drink it, bathe in it, use it for cooking, etc.  This would be a very expensive way to get your drink on, but it won't hurt you.

Basically, water in pure water the water molecules will undergo autoionisation which will produce to types of ions namely H+ and OH- ions. Anyway it is a reversible reaction where H2O exist in equilibrium with H+ and OH- ions. \n\nWhen a strong acid is dissolved in water, it will disscociate completely to produce H+ ions and the anions. This is a forward and non-reversible reaction. Whereas when a weak acid is dissolve in water only part of it will dissociate and the degree of dissociation depends on is solubility constant. This is a reversible reaction.\n\nWhen an acid is mix with water both the acid and the water will contribute its proton. ( acid dissociate completely and water partially.) But the proton from water is so little and can be neglected so normally the concentration of the H+ ions of the acid is used for calculation.\n\nHope this helps.... Good luck..

It would make water (H2O).

Red blood cell (RBC) count. Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. They also carry carbon dioxide back to the lungs so it can be exhaled. If the RBC count is low (anemia), the body may not be getting the oxygen it needs. If the count is too high (a condition called polycythemia vera), there is a risk that the red blood cells will clump together and block tiny blood vessels (capillaries).

Yes, but if the oxygen released is used for respiration, it may end up as water again.

RBCs are unable to synthesize new proteins to grow or divide. They become old as they lose their flexibility and become increasingly rigid and fragile and their contained hemoglobin begins to degenerate. RBCs have a lifespan of 100-120 days and after they become trapped and fragmented into smaller circulatory channels particularly of those in the spleen. Dying erythrocytes or RBCs are engulfed and destroyed by macrophages of the spleen liver and bone marrow. The heme of their hemoglobin is split off from the globin. Its core of iron is salvaged, bound to protein as ferritin or hemosiderin and stored fro reuse. The balance of the heme group is degraded to bilirubin , a yellow pigment that is released to the blood and binds to albumin for transport.

Diffent centres have different recommendation for storage of whole blood. In some centres in theworld 35+days is also possible with modern preservatives. Individual blood components can be stored for evenlonger or shorter periods depending on their halflife and the utility intended. \n\nmore and more redblood cells in whole blood undergo haemolysis after a certain durarion of time. This releases potasium which is harmful in high levels in the transfusuion receipient if transfused in such a state.The nmber of Red blod cells also decrease with haemolysis. \n\nhaemoglobin from lysed cells are later found in free plasma and large levels of free Hb can clog renal tubules if transfused and result in renal failure. This is especially true in massive transfusions.\n\nThe 2,3 DPG levels in RBCs decrease considerably with the duration of storage and therefore make them unsuitable to release oxygen to tissues.\n\nThe current storage technique of whole blood limits its useful lifespan to 20-40 days depending on the facilities available. Maybe in the future with better techniques longer storage will be possible or better still we may have blood substitues that work better than blood especially especially for oxygenation of tissues.
