WHEN THE SEEDS ARE PLACED ON HYPOTONIC SOLUTION:

Plant cells are enclosed by a rigid cellwall. When the plant cell is placedin a hypotonic solution , it takes up water by osmosis and starts to swell, but thecell wall prevents it from bursting. Theplant cell is said to have become "turgid" i.e. swollen and hard.

WHEN SEEDS ARE PLACED IN HYPOTONIC SOLUTION:

If a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the plant cell loses water and hence turgor pressure by plasmolysis: pressure decreases to the point where the protoplasm of the cell peels away from the cell wall, leaving gaps between the cell wall and the membrane and making the plant cellshrink and crumple.

hope it helps
