Answer:

If the number of solute (sugar) in the environment is less compared to the solute particles present in the inside such condition is called as hypo-tonic conditions.

Explanation:

Then water will move outside the cell.As the solution in which the cell is placed also has a higher concentration of water than the cell does, which makes Osmosis to draw water out of the solution and into the cells. As a result, plant and animal cells both appear more plump when placed in a hypo-tonic solution.
