Osmotic Pressure

Hypertonic solution

Inside of the cell has a lower solute concentration than outside the cell. Water moves out of the cell and shrivels the cell

Hypotonic solution

Inside of the cell has a higher solute concentration than outside the cell. Water moves into the cell so it inflates and can burst

what happens when a plant cell has a hypotonic solution

Plant cells go through turgor pressure which keeps the cell plumped and allows the exchange of gasses within a plant cell

isotonic solution

equilibrium solution of water
