A cell placed in an isotonic solution will not shrink or swell. Isotonic means that the concentration of solutes in the solution is equal to the concentration of solutes within the cell. Since both concentrations are the same, no water flows in or out of the cell due to osmotic pressure.
Hypertonic solution.
the plant cell shrinks and this is because concentration is high in the solution and less in plant cell
When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water enters the cell through osmosis, and the cell swells.

No! It shrinks...
If a cell is dropped into a solution and the cell swells, the solution is Hypotonic. (check related links)
In a hypertonic solution, the cell wall will shrink away from the cell membrane due to water leaving the cell. In an isotonic solution, the cell wall maintains its shape as water moves in and out of the cell in equilibrium. In a hypotonic solution, the cell wall will swell as water moves into the cell, increasing the pressure inside the cell.
hypotonic solutions
The solution is likely hypertonic and water is leaving the cell.

The shape of a red blood cell changes in different solutions due to osmosis, where water moves in or out of the cell to reach equilibrium with the surrounding solution. In a hypotonic solution, the cell swells and may burst (lyse) due to excess water entering the cell. In a hypertonic solution, the cell shrinks and becomes crenated due to water leaving the cell.
