What happens when a hypotonic solution is separated from a hypertonic solution by an osmotic membrane?
They diffuse into one another until the point where they reach equilibrium. This point, however cannot be predicted from what you gave nor is it any more likely to be in favor of the hypertonic, the hypotonic, or your idea of isotonic.
OBSERVING OSMOSIS IN PLANT CELLS?
You can observe osmosis in plant cells by placing a plant cell in a hypertonic or hypotonic solution and observing any changes in cell size and shape due to the movement of water. Hypertonic solution will cause cell to shrink (plasmolysis) and hypotonic solution will cause cell to swell. You can use a microscope to observe these changes in plant cells during osmosis.
What is the difference between the hypotonic and hypertonic?
A hypertonic solution has more solutes than a cell, where the cell shrinks and possibly dies but a hypotonic solution, meanwhile, has less solutes than a cell where the cell expands and possibly bursts.
What happent to a plant cell when placed in isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic solutions?
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.
What solution will cause hemolysis?
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.

How does hypersonic solution and hypotonic solution differ in meaning?
A hypersonic solution refers to a solution that has a higher concentration of solute compared to another solution. On the other hand, a hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solute compared to another solution. Hypertonic solutions will cause water to flow out of a cell, while hypotonic solutions will cause water to flow into a cell.
Would hypertonic or hypotonic blood serum cause hemolysis?
If a cell is placed into a hypotonic solution, the water will flow into the cell causing it to swell and possibly lyse. If a cell is placed into a hypertonic solution, the water will flow out of the cell causing it to crenate. So hemolysis occurs when the red blood cells lyse.

What different solutions can cells be in and what happenes to them?
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 type of solution is hypertonic?
Hypertonic solutions cause cells to lose water.
What solution cause cell to shrink?
hypertonic :)
Is 0.80 percent NaCl hypotonic or hypertonic?

Is salt water dilute or concentrated?
The word 'dilute' is an inexact term. Hypotonic (less solute) and hypertonic (more solute) and isotonic (the same amount) are relative terms. What they mean is that a solution will either have less, more, or the same concentration of a given solute than the reference substance. It is important in cells because a hypertonic solution (such as salt water) will try to pull free water out of the cell, where the concentration of salt is less. A hypotonic solution will cause water to soak into the cells. Either situation may be undesirable. For osmosis, water will flow across a semipermeable membrane in the direction of the pressure gradient. It will always flow from the hypotonic solution into the hypertonic solution. Plants absorb water by creating a hypertonic state inside the root.
