The solution is hypotonic when it is outside of the cell.
Yes, a hypotonic solution can cause osmosis. In a hypotonic solution, there is a lower concentration of solute outside the cell compared to inside. This creates a concentration gradient that causes water to move into the cell through osmosis, potentially leading to cell swelling or bursting.
Hypotonic means having reduced pressure or tone. That solution is hypotonic compared to this one.
A solution is hypotonic if it has a lower concentration of solutes compared to another solution. This can be determined by observing whether a cell placed in the solution gains water and swells up, indicating that water is moving into the cell due to the lower concentration of solutes outside the cell.
A hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solutes compared to a cell, causing water to enter the cell and potentially leading to cell swelling and bursting.
The three stages of osmosis are isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic. In an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water molecules. In a hypotonic solution, water moves into the cell, causing it to swell. In a hypertonic solution, water moves out of the cell, leading to cell shrinkage.

It is in a Hypotonic Solution.
When a cell is placed in a Hypotonic solution, the water diffuses into the cell, causing the cell to swell and possibly explode.
Hypotonic, meaning that the solution has a lower concentration of solutes compared to the inside of the cell. This creates a concentration gradient that drives water molecules to move into the cell to balance the solute concentration.
A hypotonic solution.
a hypotonic solution
If cells are placed in a hypotonic solution the cells gain water. The hypotonic solution has lower solute concentration then the cell's cytoplasm so the water will enter via osmosis.
A hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solutes compared to the solution it is being compared to. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell causing it to swell and potentially burst due to osmotic pressure.
