Answer :
hypotonic means low that isotonic concentration of salt in the solution.the salt will go inside the cell and make them bigger
while in hypertonic the water from the cell will be drained to the solution and make cell shrink(decrease in size).
while in hypertonic the water from the cell will be drained to the solution and make cell shrink(decrease in size).
If red blood cells are placed in an hypotonic solution water would naturally enter the cell through osmosis.
What is osmosis?
Osmosis can be defined as the movement of water from where it is in higher concentration to where it is in lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. Osmosis is a process by which the molecules of a solvent pass from a solution of low concentration to a solution of high concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.
A hypertonic solution is when there is a greater number of solutes inside the red blood cell then outside in the solution. A blood cell placed in hypotonic solution would gain water as water will enter cell from surrounding hypotonic medium by the process of osmosis causing the cell to swell up. If a red blood cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water would naturally enter the cell through osmosis as the concentration of water in the RBC is lower.
