Define $Hypertonic$ solution and $Hypotonic$ solution.
(N/A) $1$. $Hypertonic$ solution: $A$ solution is said to be $Hypertonic$ if its osmotic pressure is higher than that of the solution to which it is being compared. When a cell is placed in a $Hypertonic$ solution,water flows out of the cell,causing it to shrink.
$2$. $Hypotonic$ solution: $A$ solution is said to be $Hypotonic$ if its osmotic pressure is lower than that of the solution to which it is being compared. When a cell is placed in a $Hypotonic$ solution,water flows into the cell,causing it to swell.
$2$. $Hypotonic$ solution: $A$ solution is said to be $Hypotonic$ if its osmotic pressure is lower than that of the solution to which it is being compared. When a cell is placed in a $Hypotonic$ solution,water flows into the cell,causing it to swell.
