Illustration showing plant cells in , isotonic and hypotonic solutions. A hypertonic solution causes water to diffuse out of the cell cytoplasm and the shrinking of the protoplasm. In an isotonic solution there is no net movement of water in or out of the cell. In a hypotonic solution water diffuses into the cell cytoplasm, causing the cell to become turgid. | |
