which of the following happens to a cell in hypotonic solution
A- The cell gains water and expands
B- The cell stays the same
C- The cell loses water and shrivels
D- Water moves out of the cell
In a hypotonic solution, the solute concentration is lower than inside the cell. If the water continues to move into the cell, it can stretch the cell membrane to the point the cell bursts (lyses) and dies
