When an environment is hypotonic, the cell has more solute so solvent move from outside the cell to inside causing the cell to swell.
WHAT IS TONICITY?
- Tonicity is the ability of a solution to induce water loss or water gain in a cell. A solution can either be; hypertonic, hypotonic or isotonic
- A hypertonic solution has more concentration of solute than its surroundings while a hypotonic solution has less concentration of solute compared to it's surroundings.
- If a hypotonic solution has less solute, this means that it will have more solvent (water). Based on the principle of osmosis, water moves from a region of high concentration to region of low concentration.
Hence, water will move into a cell that is located in a hypotonic environment, causing it to swell.

One of the 4 layers that surrounds the earth.
I believe the answer is B
Autotrophs- include plants, algae, and cyanobacteria and are photosynthetic organisms. Heterotrophs- are consumers that get energy by feeding on autotrophs. Both use organic molecules produced by photosynthesis as a source of building blocks for growth and repair and as a source of chemical energy for cellular work.
The correct answer is "All of the above are correct"
