Compared to its surroundings, the concentration of solutes is low inside a cell. So, the cell is hypertonic hypotonic isotonic with respect to its surroundings. A particular solute in this cell uses energy for its transport from the cell to its surroundings. This type of transport is called active transport diffusion facilitated transport.

Answer: the cell is hypotonic compare to the surrounding environment; because it has higher water potential(less solute) compare to the surrounding environment; of lower water potential (more solute), with time the cell looses water into the environment and shrink

When the cell needs to move substances inside against its concentration gradient, it needs to use energy as ATP. The transport method is ACTIVE TRANSPORT.
