Explanation :

There are three different types of osmotic solution:

Types of osmotic solution

- Hypertonic - Hypotonic - Isotonic

Solution solution solution

Hyper means - above average level

Hypo means - below

Iso means - same

Hypertonic solution _ is the one that has greater solute concentration than inside the cell. Cell will shrink under hypertonic solution. The outside solution has highly soluble concentration than inside the cell. That's why water molecules moved from inside to outside cell. Exo osmosis occurs in hypertonic solution.

Hypotonic Solution _ in this type of solution the solute concentration is more inside the cell than outside the cell. Cell will swell under the hypotonic solution, as the water molecules will move from outside to inside the cell. Endo osmosis occurs in hypotonic solution.

Isotonic solution_ an isotonic solution is the one in which the concentration of solutes is same both inside and outside the cell. No change occurs to the cell.

Hope it was helpful.

Answer: hypotonic: Having a lower osmotic pressure than another; a cell in this environment causes water to enter the cell, causing it to swell. hypertonic: having a greater osmotic pressure than another. isotonic: having the same osmotic pressure.
