Question

what would mostly likely happen to a unicellular organism if it was exposed to a hypotonic solution for an extended period of time

Answer 1

If a unicellular organism was exposed to a hypotonic solution for an extended period of time, it would gradually swell and burst. In a hypotonic solution, the amount of solutes are lesser outside the cell compared to inside of it. Water will move into the cell making the it bigger and eventually will result to its eruption.
