Question

What happen t an animal cell if placed in hypotonic solution

Answer 1

A solution is hypotonic to acell if it has a lower solute concentration than the celldoes. ... Osmosis draws water out of the solutionand into the cells. As a result, plant and animal cells both appear more plump when placed in ahypotonic solution.

Answer 2

A hypertonic solution contains a high concentration of the solute compared to the solvent molecules. Which basically means, the water molecules are more inside the cell, than in the solution. So, the water molecules within the cells diffuse out and the solute molecules move in, making the cell shrink.
