Hypotonic means that the concentration gradient is lower than what ever your comparing it to (in this case a red blood cell) since the net movement of solute goes from high to low concentration gradient solutes will move out of the red blood cell causing water to go into the cell. This will cause the cell to swell up and eventually Lyse.
Hypotonic Solution
it swells and burst
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 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.
What can happen to animal cells when placed in a hypotonic solution explain
Nothing would happen to the plant. It will have a normal growth provided other parameters are normal.
When a cell is placed in a Hypotonic solution, the water diffuses into the cell, causing the cell to swell and possibly explode.
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.
Both types of cells will have endo-osmosis and will become turgid
hypotonic solution
yes it is hypotonic to normal water. for more info, see is distilled water hypotonic or hypertonic.
