the plant cell shrinks and this is because concentration is high in the solution and less in plant cell
The cell explodes!
Hypotonic is a concentration of less solutes compared to that of another solution.
Hypotonic Solution
A hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration compared to the cells it surrounds. When cells are exposed to a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cells through osmosis, causing them to swell or potentially burst.
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.
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.
The cell explodes!
The solution is hypotonic when it is outside of the cell.
The solution in the experiment is 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.

Hypotonic is a concentration of less solutes compared to that of another solution.
Hypotonic Solution
it swells and burst
hypertonic hypertonic
Water moves from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution.
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.
