The picture above shows what happens to a red blood cell in three different types of solutions. Hypertonic (cell will shrink),
hypotonic (cell will swell or burst), or isotonic (the cell stays the same). Click on the link below to read about these
types of solutions!!

The picture above is how a plant cell will look in three different types of solutions (hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic).
In a hypertonic solution, notice how the cell is pulled away from the cell wall. In a hypotonic solution, the plant cell
looks really full but usually will not burst because of the rigid cell wall. The plant cell in an isotonic solution does not
show any stress and appears to be "normal".
