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: -If a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell. This causes the cell to swell, and it may even burst. 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.
Detailed explanation-3: -If a cell swells after been placed in a solution, it means water from solution has entered the cell. As water flows from a region of its own higher concentration to a region of lower concentration, we conclude that water is present in higher concentration in the solution as compared to the cell sap.
