Tonicity refers to the surrounding around the cell sap. In hypertonic solution, the concentration of solution is less than the cell sap. This causes water to move into the cell sap.
Eg.
- When we water plants, they get fresh(turgid) because it is in hypotonic surrounding.
- When we place beans in a bowl, it gets swelled up.

An example of a hypertonic solution that has glucose dissolved into it is any plain glucose solution with a concentration higher than 5%. One such example is a solution of 10% dextrose in water, also known by its name D10W. This is often used as an IV fluid.
