hypotonicity
Hypotonicity refers to a physiological state or condition where the fluid concentration outside the cell, specifically the concentration of solutes, is lower than the concentration inside the cell. This causes an influx of water into the cell due to osmosis, producing a swelling effect. In a hypotonic environment, cells can potentially burst due to the increased internal pressure.
