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.
In hypotonic solutions, where the concentration of solutes is lower outside than inside the cell, water flows into cells and makes them swell. In hypertonic solutions, on the other hand, osmosis makes water flow out of cells, which shrivels them up.
