Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypertonic solutions have less water ( and more solute such as salt or sugar ) than a cell. ... Hypotonic solutions have more water than a cell. Tapwater and pure water are hypotonic. A single animal cell ( like a red blood cell) placed in a hypotonic solution will fill up with water and then burst.
