move into the cell
IT will result in the cell exploding
hypotonic
When a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, the osmotic pressure tends to increase as the water in the cells moves to a place elevated in solute concentration. The osmotic pressure is the chief cause of support in numerous plants.
Osmosis works for any type of cell. Because of a lower concentration of solute inside the cell then out, the water would rush to where the solute is in an attempt to make it even. It would retain its shape because of its cell wall making it rigid which is absent in animal cells which is prone to swelling and making it burst.
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
When placed in an isotonic solution nothin will happen to the cell, but when placed in a hypotonic solution the cell will implode (not explode, thus the water will push the cell on itself until implosion occurs.) Last but not least a hypertonic solution will cause the cell to explode by too much water entering the cell because there is already more water in the cell then in the solution. So the simple answer is: Isotonic solution= nothing, hypotonic solution= implosion, and hypertonic solution= explosion.

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.

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.
This is not true. An isotonic solution is one that is equivalent in concentration to that found within human plasma so that is usually desirable. On the other hand, a person may have too little of an ion. In that case the amount needs to be replaced using a hypertonic solution. The trouble with that is that if the patient is not carefully monitored, too much of whatever ion is used will enter the cells, causing the cells to draw more water in to maintain balance. When that happens, especially with sodium, the patient must be monitored closely because giving too much can cause the sodium level in the cells to exceed normal levels. When that happens, the cells draw more water in which can cause the cells to swell and then the membranes to begin to leak such as we see with pulmonary edema.
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.
