When a cell is immersed in a hypotonic solution, the volume of the cell will rise as it will cause will be a net inflow of water inside the cell. If the concentration of solutes outside the cell is lower as compared to inside the cell and when the solutes are not able to cross the membrane, then the solution is called hypotonic to the given cell.

The ability of an extracellular solution to induce water to osmotically enter or depart a cell is known as tonicity.

Three terms—hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic—are employed in order to evaluate if a solution would cause water to move into or out of a cell:

  • If a cell is immersed in a hypertonic solution, it will lose volume because there will be a net flow of water out of the cell.
  • A cell will shrink if it is submerged in a hypertonic solution because water will escape the cell.
  • Since there is no net water movement in an isotonic environment, the cell's size remains constant.
  • A cell will absorb water and swell when it is exposed to a hypotonic environment.

D) differences between species and their ancestors

This is because of the adaptive mechanism and mutations the organisms have to respond to. <span>Adaptation processes occur to help species survive and thrive in the ecological balance of life. Structural adaptations are physical features of an organism that adapted through time. An example of this are the bills of a bird and the fur of bears that they generally need for their survival; birds for hunting, and bears to protect them from low climate areas.</span>
