In a hypotonic solution the water outside the cell is at a higher concentration than inside the cell. So gases, water etc. always want to move to lower concentration. So the water from outside the cell diffuses into the cell and makes it swell.

The earliest cells detectable in fossils were different from the cells in animals, plants, fungi, and protists living today. The
aalyn [17]

Answer:

In the 1960s, Lynn Magulis came up with the theory of endosymbiosis. Different evidence supports this theory that the cell organelles like chloroplasts and mitochondria were once utilized by the independent living species. Both of these organelles exhibit their own genetic material. The mitochondria cannot differentiate to produce chloroplasts and vice versa.  

However, the fact that the mitochondria are found in all the cells of eukaryotes, while the chloroplast is witnessed only in certain specific cells, shows that the evolution of mitochondria took place much earlier than the chloroplasts.

Biotic factors are all the biological conditions of an environment for a specie/taxa. It can include prey and predator abundance, available food amount, available space, intra and interspecific competition...

The development of organims is under the control of abiotic factors. Some are adapted to heat, cold etc ... The abiotic factors will define which organisms are able or not to live in a specified place.

The living organisms will constitute the biotic factors, which define if and how can an organism live in a specified environment.
