Explanation:
If a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell, and the cell will shrink. (cell losses water)[in normal words-- cell has more water than outer surrounding ,so water losses by osmosis]
In an isotonic environment, the relative concentrations of solute and water are equal on both sides of the membrane.(nothing will happen)[outer surrounding and the cell has same amount of water, some it balance s]
When a cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, water will enter the cell, and the cell will swell.(cell gains water)[cell has lesser water than outer surrounding so,it gains water]
