Question

water moves into a cell placed in a hypotonic solution because why

Answer 1

If the solution surrounding a cell is less concentrated than that inside the cell, it is said to be hypotonic. In a hypotonic solution, water will move from outside to the inside of the cell across its membrane. This process will continue until the solutions reach equal concentration, the cell ruptures from internal pressure or organelles inside the cell exert energy to pump water out of the cell.
