A hypotonic solution is a solution that has less solute and more water than another solution. The concentration of total dissolved solutes is not equal on both sides, there will be net movement of water molecules into the cell.
Hypotonic Solution
The cell explodes!
i dont know.......maybe a hypotonic solution!
The solution is hypotonic when it is outside of the cell.
The solution in the experiment is hypotonic.
hypotonic
Hypotonic is a concentration of less solutes compared to that of another solution.
it swells and burst
hypertonic hypertonic
Water moves from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution.
When a plant cell is placed in an hypotonic solution it becomes swollen and hard. The cell takes in water by osmosis and starts to swell, but the cell wall prevents it from bursting.
A hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration compared to the cells it surrounds. When cells are exposed to a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cells through osmosis, causing them to swell or potentially burst.
