What is the difference between hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic?

Hyper - over

hypo - below

iso - equal

Ex: a cell with a semipermeable membrane is put in the following solutions

Hypertonic solution;

this means that the solute is more concentrated on the outside of a cell

water would move out of the cell to dilute to the concentration

the cell would shrivel

Hypotonic solution:

this would mean solute is more concentrated on the inside of a cell

water would move into the cell

the cell could burst or lyse

Isotonic solution:

the solute is in equal concentrations inside and outside of the cell

it is in equilibrium

water still moves in and out of the cell though
