When the solution outside the cell is hypotonic to the cell contents, then by osmosis the water from outside the cell enters in , due to which the cell swell's up. This principle is used in Karyotyping, where hypo.KCl is added to increase the cell size for better visualization of chromosomes.
hypotonic
Hemolysis is the bursting of red blood cells (hemo- blood and lysis- bursting). There are three types of solutions that blood can be put into: hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic. The names of these give you some clue as to how the cell will behave in solution. Hypertonic solutions have greater osmotic pressure than the cells they contain, which will cause the cell to shrivel as its contents diffuse into the solution. Hypotonic solutions have less osmotic pressure than the cells inside of them, so the contents of solution will diffuse across the cell membrane and into the cell, eventually causing it to swell and burst (hemolysis). Isotonic solutions have osmotic pressure equal to that of the solutes they contain, so no net change is observed.

Hypotonic. If the solution had a lesser salt concentration, the cell would suck in more water to even out the salt levels inside vs outside the cell in the solution... it would suck in water, which would cause it to swell up.
Any solution with more H2O than inside the cell will cause the cell to swell. Animal cells will burst under a lot of pressure, but plant cells will not, due to the presence of a cell well surrounding the cell. In other words, a hypotonic solution will cause a cell to swell, and a hypertonic solution will cause a cell to shrink. Hypo -> hyper
hypotonic
yes
No, Hypotonic Solutions do
Hypotonic cells are cells that have been exposed to hypotonic solutions. These solutions cause cells to plumb as they fill with the solution.

hypotonic solution will cause the blood cell to swell up and maybe lyse or be destroyed. Hypotonic solution contains low solute and high water concentration. To reach equilibrium or blanace the difference in the cell and out side of the cell water will move in to make the solute in the cell equal the solute outside the cell
Uh... extremity? Too much hypotonic solution could cause hemolysis of the cells, if too much water is forced into them.

Mix the blood in a hypotonic solution, which will cause the RBCs to lyse.

That depends entirely on what is in this solution. Hypotonic and hypertonic are relative terms to compare to solutions usually serperated by a semi-permeable membrane. Relative to a plant cell or e.g. a red blood cell the named solution of 0.3x10-5M NaCl is hypotonic, but compared to sea water it is hyper. A hypotonic solution contains a lesser concentration of impermeable solutes than the the inside cell. When a cell's cytoplasm is bathed in a hypotonic solution the water will be drawn out of the solution and into the cell by osmosis. If water molecules continue to diffuse into the cell, it will cause the cell to swell, up to the point that lysis (rupture) may occur.
