Osmosis (5)
Hypotonic Solution: In a hypotonic solution, the solute concentration is lower outside the cell compared to inside. Water will move into the cell, causing it to swell and potentially burst (lysis) if not regulated.
In hypotonic solutions, lower outside solute concentration causes cell swelling and potential bursting due to osmosis.
