timofeeve [1]3 years ago

<em>Hypotonic solutions contain a low concentration of solute relative to another solution ( The cells cytoplsm) </em>

<u>Thus, when a cell in placed in a hypotonic solution, the water diffuses into the cell, which causes the cell to swell up. </u>

<em>The cell has lower solute concentration than the solution. So the solution is HYPERTONIC and the cell is HYPOTONIC. </em>

As a result, a cell that does not have a rigid cell wall, such as a red blood cell, t'will most definitely swell and burst when placed in a hypotonic solution.
