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.

Male sterility can result from excessively high temperatures around the testes. what adjustment is made to counteract the effect
Natalija [7]

The scrotum reacts to temperature.  When it is cold, the scrotum shrinks, pulling the testes against the body to keep them warm.  When it is hot, the scrotum relaxes, lowering the testes away from the body.  This contractile ability of the scrotum can either raise or lower the temperature of the testes by a few degrees, ensuring that the optimum temperature for sperm production is maintained.
