Explanation:
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..
thanks ☺️

Hypotonic = having a lower osmotic pressure than a particular fluid, typically a body fluid or intracellular fluid. Hypertonic = hypertonic solution is one where the concentration of solutes is greater outside the cell than inside it. Isotonic = two solutions having the same concentration
