    The cell becomes turgid
  • Define hypotonic solution
    The solution which has higher water potential and lower concentration of solute molecules.
  • Define hypertonic solution
    The solution which has lower water potential and higher concentration of solute molecules .
  • What happens to red blood cell if it is placed in a hypertonic solution
    The red blood cells will undergo crenation
