Answer:
Tonicity in living systems
When a cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, water will enter the cell, and the cell will swell. ... In fact, the cytoplasm in plants is generally a bit hypertonic to the cellular environment, and water will enter a cell until its internal pressure—turgor pressure—prevents further influx.

Answer:
The tonicity of a solution is related to its effect on the volume of a cell. A hypotonic solution causes a cell to swell, whereas a hypertonic solution causes a cell to shrink. Although it is related to osmolality, tonicity also takes into consideration the ability of the solute to cross the cell membrane.
