Cells are influenced by the cells and tissues around them. If a person does not drink enough water, each cell can become dehydrated; likewise, if a virus infects one cell, it can easily infect nearby cells.

∙ 12y agoA cell's environment can either be hypotonic, hypertonic, or isotonic. A hypotonic environment means that the cell has a greater amount of impermeable solutes (can include a number of things) than the environment surrounding it. This will lead to an intake of the external solution and may lead to the cell's rupturing, or lysing. A hypertonic solution means that the cell has a smaller amount of impermeable solutes than the environment surrounding it. This will lead to the expulsion of the internal solution and can lead to the cell shriveling up. An isotonic solution means that the solutions within the cell and outside the cell have an equal amount of impermeable solutes and no exchange will occur.
