Question 1
How is hypertonic solution different from hypotonic solution?
Answer 1
If a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell, and the cell will shrink.
There is no net water movement, so there is no change in the size of the cell.
There is no net water movement, so there is no change in the size of the cell. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, water will enter the cell, and the cell will swell.
Question 2
What will happen to a raisin placed in hypotonic solution?
Answer 2
When raisins are kept under water the the concentration of water in surrounding is more than that of raisins as they are dry so water will act as hypotonic solution and water will go inside raisins as a result raisin will sweel up .

Answer:
A hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration than the fluid inside a cell.
A hypertonic solution has a higher solute concentration than the fluid inside a cell.
If a raisin is placed inside a hypotonic solution it will soak up the solution through osmosis and swell , but the cell wall will prevent it from bursting. Hence, it will become turgid i.e, swollen or hard. The pressure inside the cell will rise until this internal pressure is equal to the pressure outside.
