Answer : A hypotonic solution has a higher concentration of water and lower concentration of solute than the cell placed in the solution.
Explanation :
Solution : It is made up of the combination of amount solute and solvent.
Isotonic solutions : It is defined as the solutions in which the concentration of solute inside the cell and outside the cell is same.
Hypotonic solutions : It is defined as the solutions in which the concentration of solute inside the cell is lower than outside the cell.
For example : Diluted sugar syrup
Hypertonic solutions : It is defined as the solutions in which the concentration of solute inside the cell is higher than outside the cell.
For example : Concentrated sugar syrup
Hence, a hypotonic solution has a higher concentration of water and lower concentration of solute than the cell placed in the solution.
