False.
A hypotonic solution refers to a solution having an osmotic pressure that is lower when compared with the composition of a second solution – in this case, the RBC.
A Red Blood Cell (RBC) does not possess enough sturdiness or rigidity in the walls of the cell, due to which molecules will enter the RBC, cause it to get ballooned up, and eventually suffer from hemolysis or rapture of the red blood cell.
