Answer 2

HYPERTONIC SOLUTION

A hypertonic solution is one which has a higher solute concentration than another solution. An example of a hypertonic solution is the interior of a red blood cell compared with the solute concentration of fresh water.

HYPOTONIC SOLUTION

A hypotonic solution is a solution that has a lower concentration of solute compared to the cell. ... The solute is the substance present in a lower amount, and the solvent is the substance present in greater amount. A hypotonic solution example is salt water. The salt is the solute, and the water is the solvent.
