Answer:
A hypotonic solution is a solution which has more concentration of water.The cells gain water and swell up if the surrounding media is hypotonic.
A hypertonic solution is a solution which has less concentration of water. The cell loses water and shrinks if the surrounding media is hypertonic.
An isotonic solution is a solution which has exactly the same concentration of water as that in a cell.The cell's size remains unchanged.An equilibrium is maintained.
Hope this helps!!!
Don't forget to rate accordingly!!!!
