Detailed explanation-1: -If a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, there will be a net flow of water into the cell, and the cell will gain volume. If the solute concentration outside the cell is lower than inside the cell, and the solutes cannot cross the membrane, then that solution is hypotonic to the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -A hypotonic tonic solution is any external solution that has a low solute concentration and high water concentration compared to body fluids. In hypotonic solutions, there is a net movement of water from the solution into the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -A hypertonic solution means the environment outside of the cell has more dissolved material than inside of the cell. If a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell. This can cause a cell to shrink and shrivel.

Detailed explanation-4: -A hypertonic solution has a water concentration greater than that is found inside the cell. Q. If a cell is placed in an isotonic solution, the water potential and will be equal inside and outside of the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cells placed in a hypotonic solution will take in water across their membrane until both the external solution and the cytosol are isotonic.
