Hypertonic solution is the solution in which the concentration of solute is more in the outside of the cell,than inside the cytoplasm, i.e,when the cell is placed in a hypertonic soln d water will strt flowing frm the cell into the solution to balnce the concentration... It causes the cell to shrink as the solvent flows out.....
Hypotonic-it is the solution in which the solutes inside the cell is more than the solutes outside of the cell..when the cell is presnt in the hypotonic solution water will rush into the cell to balance it..the cell can even burst while intakng solvent..
Isotonic- It is the solution in which the effective osmole concentration is same as the solute concentration of the cell,it never shrinks or burts the cell..
Hope it helps. please mark it as the brainliest! :-)
