What different solutions can cells be in and what happenes to them?
Shaqhasan
There are three different types of solutions you can place a cell in: hypotonic (concentration of solution less than concentration of cell), isotonic (equal concentrations) and hypertonic (concentration of solution greater than concentration of cell).
In a hypotonic solution, the cell will accumulate water (in an attempt to equalize the concentration difference) and will eventually rupture from the water pressure inside the cell.
In an isotonic solution, the cell will do nothing.
In a hypertonic solution, the cell will shrivel as the water exits the cell to dilute the solution to the same concentration as the cell. This will cause the cell to die.

What are the effects of hypertonic solutions on living cells?
Hypertonic solutions are solutions that have a higher concentration than that of its immediate environment. The effects of hypertonic solutions on living cells is crenation in animal cells and plasmolysis in plant cells.
What is hypotonic cell?
Hypotonic cells are cells that have been exposed to hypotonic solutions. These solutions cause cells to plumb as they fill with the solution.
