Answer:
✓If a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell, and the cell will shrink.
✓In an isotonic environment, the relative concentrations of solute and water are equal on both sides of the membrane. ...
✓When a cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, water will enter the cell, and the cell will swell

Isotonic solutions contain equal concentrations of impermeable solutes on either side of the membrane and so the cell neither swells nor shrinks.
A hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solutes than another solution. In biology, a solution outside of a cell is called hypotonic if it has a lower concentration of solutes relative to the cytosol.
A hypertonic solution is a particular type of solution that has a greater concentration of solutes on the outside of a cell when compared with the inside of a cell.
