(a) when placed in isotonic solution the cell's shape doesn't change as the amount of water moving out is same as amount of water moving in...
(b)when placed in hypotonic solution the cell swells due to endoosmosi as the amount of water moving in is greater than amount of water moving out.
(c) when placed in hypertonic solution the cell shrinks due to exosmosis as the amount of water moving out is greater than amount of water moving in...

I hope this helps u

unwanted: wrong at a time it is not possible simultaneously endoosmosis and exoosmosis never occur

When a animal cell is placed in 

A) ISOTONIC SOLUTION: The concentration of both cell and solution is same.

There is NO change seen in the cell.

B)HYPOTONIC SOLUTION: The cell is more concentrated than the solution in which it is kept

There is an occurrence of deplasmolysis, The water in the cell move into the cell through diffusion , the cell become turgid and enlarges.

C)HYPERTONIC SOLUTION: The solution is more concentrated than the cell.

In this case there occurs plasmolysis. Water move out of the cell through diffusion, Cell become flaccid and shrink.

NoTE:

Plasmolysis: Moving out of water from the cell.
Deplasmolysis: Moving in of water into the cell.



vishagh: sorry i didnt get u. what do u mean?
devaaaa: me too
unwanted: do u both not know what is plasmolysis?
vishagh: Would be kind u explain?
unwanted: plasmolysis is the process in which water comes out from cell wall so cell wall get shrunk but not whole cell
vishagh: Well thats not true, no water comes out of cell wall, the water which comes out is from the cytoplasm.
unwanted: no there is cavity between cell wall from there water comes out
vishagh: have a look into the internet buddy :)
unwanted: ok bro
FhadAli: what should i write
