hypertonic refers to a greater concentration of solutes outside the cell then inside the cell
hypotonic refers to a laser concentration of solutes outside the cell than inside the cell
an isotonic solution is one in which its effective osmole concentration is the same as the solute concentration of cell in this case the cell neither swells nor shrinks.

Answer:
hypotonic: a solution which contains more solute than solvent (example: a lot of salt(solute) dissolved in water(solvent))
hypertonic: a solution which contains more solvent than solute (example: purified water--there's almost no solute dissolved in the solvent(water))
isotonic: a solution in which the solute and solvent are equally distributed--a cell normally wants to remain in an isotonic solution, where the concentration of the liquid inside of it equals the concentration of the liquid outside of it
