Final answer:

A solution that has relatively low solute and high free water is a hypotonic solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

A solution that has a relatively low solute and high free water is a hypotonic solution. In a hypotonic solution, the extracellular fluid has a lower concentration of solutes or lower osmolarity than the cell cytoplasm. This means that the extracellular fluid has a higher concentration of water than the cell, causing water to enter the cell.
