Question

what will happen if animal cell is placed in hypotonic solution

Answer 1

HYPERTONIC - THE CELL WILL SHIRK BECAUSE THE SOLUTION HAVE LOW CONCENTRATION AND THE MOLECULES FROM THE CELL WILL DIFFUSE(osmosis) TO THE SOLUTION.
HYPOTONIC - THE CELL WILL SWELL/ENLARGE BECAUSE THE CONCENTRATION OF THE SOLUTION IS HIGHER THAN THE CELL'S THEN THE MOLECULES WILL DIFFUSE INTO THE CELL.
ISOTONIC - THERE WILL BE NO CHANGE IN THE CELL AS THE CONCENTRATION IS THE SAME IN BOTH.SO, NO OSMOSIS TAKES PLACE.

Answer 2

Hey frnd!!
Here is the answer..

If an animal cell is placed in a hypotonic solution then the cell will get swell as the solvent content is more in hypotonic solution so the water will come inside the cell.

Hope it helps ☺
