And take up water, swell and
possibly burst
when a red blood cell is placed in
a hypotonic solution, there will be
a net movement of free water
into the cell. This situation will
result in an increased intracellular
volume with a lower intracellulare
solute concentration. The solution
will end up with a
higher overall
solute concentration.
