tonicity is the measure of effective osmotic pressure gradient, the solutions having separated by a semi permeable membrane has different concentrations in it. there are three types of tonicity: hypertonic hypotonic isotonic
the cells are in a hypotonic condition that is filled with solution and it cannot accomodate anymore solution in it that is known as turgidity o the cell
when the cell gets into a hypertonic solution ater from the cells are released out in the hypertonic solution making it hypotonic and the cells turns hypertonic. that is what plasmolysis is known as
