Aliza Nolan · Answer 1

The osmotic potential of the solution is less than that of the cell, causing loss of water and shrinkage. This describes a hypotonic solution.

Gabriel Cisneros · Answer 2

The osmotic potential of the solution is less than that of the cell, causing loss of water and shrinkage. This describes a hypotonic solution.

Explanation:

A hypotonic answer is any answer that contains a lower pressure than another answer. Within the biological fields, this usually refers to that has less matter and additional water than another solution.
