Answer: Iso-osmotic and Hypotonic

Step-by-step explanation:

An iso osmotic solution also known as the isotonic solution is referred to as a solution which tends to have same concentration as of water or whichever it is compared to. On the other hand a hypotonic solution is referred to as any solution which tends to have a lower pressure(osmotic) than any another solution. This is generally referred to as a solution which has more water and less solute than any another solution.
