Answer:

The tonicity will result in the following: no net movement of water (isotonic), net flow of water out of a cell (hypertonic), or net flow of water into a cell (hypotonic). Two solutions that are isosmotic may not be isotonic. ... In the case of red blood cells, this is referred to as hemolysis (4).
