What happens to a cell in a hypotonic solution?
It expands
It shrinks
It stays the same
It bursts
Answer explanation
Think: HIPPOS!
- The outside solution has more water than solutes
- The cell dropped into the solution has more solutes than water.
- Water (going high to low) flows INTO the cell.
- The cell will expand (become huge like a hippo!) and burst

What happens to a cell in an isotonic solution?
It expands
It shrinks
It stays the same
It bursts
Answer explanation
Think: “I SO want to stay here!”
- With isotonic solutions, there is a proper balance of water and solutes. It’s the same osmotic pressure inside and outside of the cell.
- Isotonic solutions don’t cause fluid to shift inside or outside of the cell.
