The term that describes the environment inside the cell is hypotonic.

Hypotonic environment is a solution that has a reduced osmotic pressure than a certain fluid, usually a body fluid. In a hypotonic solution, all the dissolved solute molecules have a molar concentration that is lower than that of another solution or a cell. When a cell is exposed to a hypotonic environment, there is movement of water into the cell and the cell may burst if it does not have a cell wall.

Answer:

Concerts, sports games, and political rallies can have very large crowds. When you attend one of these events, you may know only the people you came with. Yet you may experience a feeling of connection to the group. You are one of the crowd. You cheer and applaud when everyone else does. You boo and yell alongside them. You move out of the way when someone needs to get by, and you say “excuse me” when you need to leave. You know how to behave in this kind of crowd.

It can be a very different experience if you are travelling in a foreign country and find yourself in a crowd moving down the street. You may have trouble figuring out what is happening. Is the crowd just the usual morning rush, or is it a political protest of some kind? Perhaps there was some sort of accident or disaster. Is it safe in this crowd, or should you try to extract yourself? How can you find out what is going on? Although you are in it, you may not feel like you are part of this crowd. You may not know what to do or how to behave.

Anastasy [175]
The mainstay of treatment for testicular cancer is chemotherapy. This is to eradicate malignant cells in the testicle. As a consequence, the patient can be sterile as the chemotherapy also attacks healthy living sperm. Since the patient wants to build a family, he should store his sperm and get it preserved by cryopreservation before the treatment is started.
