A cell placed in hypotonic solution will burst or split as a result of water entering into the cell which makes it continue to swell until it burst. 15 people found this useful. Edit.
When a cellâs cytoplasm is bathed in a hypotonic solution the water will be drawn out of the solution and into the cell by osmosis. If water molecules continue to diffuse into the cell, it will cause the cell to swell, up to the point that cytolysis (rupture) may occur. The opposite of a hypertonic environment is a hypotonic one, where the net movement of water is into the cell. If the cell contains more impermeable solute than its surroundings, water will enter it. HOW IT AFFECTS ANIMAL CELLS; In an animal cell, hypotonic solutions cause them to swell, they become bloated and triple their original size.
