Adding detergent to a blood cell would disrupt its cell membrane, which is composed of a lipid bilayer. Detergents can solubilize lipids, leading to the disruption of the membrane's structure and function, ultimately causing the cell to lyse (burst) and die. This process can release the cell's contents, including hemoglobin, into the surrounding environment.
