Animal cells placed in a hypotonic solution will appear smaller or bigger?

nlandr01:

you need help

Samuelthebest:

yes

umm:

What do you think?

Samuelthebest:

smaller?

umm:

Hypotonic solutions have more water than a cell. Tap water and pure water are hypotonic. A single animal cell ( like a red blood cell) placed in a hypotonic solution will fill up with water and then burst. The underlined words may help.

Samuelthebest:

ok thank you
