In an isotonic environment, the relative concentrations of solute and water are equal on both sides of the membrane. ... If placed in a hypotonic solution, a red blood cell will bloat up and may explode, while in a hypertonic solution, it will shrivel—making the cytoplasm dense and its contents concentrated—and may die.

If a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell, and the cell will shrink. In an isotonic environment, the relative concentrations of solute and water are equal on both sides of the membrane. ... When a cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, water will enter the cell, and the cell will swell.

Explanation:

Bacteria are a group of single celled organisms that are neither plants or animals.

Bacteria lack cell organelles such as the nucleus and the chlorophyll.

They can be found in many environments and most of them are adapted to survive in extreme environments such as hot-springs where the temperatures are extremely high.

Unlike the plant cell wall, bacterial cell wall has a layer of peptidoglucan which determines their shape. Their cytoplasm contains both DNA and RNA.
