Detailed explanation-1: -In hypotonic solutions, there is a net movement of water from the solution into the body. A cell placed into a hypotonic solution will swell and expand until it eventually burst through a process known as cytolysis.
Detailed explanation-2: -: the usually pathologic dissolution or disintegration of cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cytolysis, or osmotic lysis, occurs when a cell bursts due to an osmotic imbalance that has caused excess water to move into the cell. It occurs in a hypotonic environment.
Detailed explanation-4: -Plasmolysis is the process by which cells in a hypertonic solution lose water. The cells of the body cannot operate adequately if they are deprived of water or gain extra water through osmosis.
