  1. Answer:

    Tonicity is the relative amount of solutes that is dissolved in solution which determine the direction and level of diffusion.

    Explanation:

    Tonicity is the relative amount of solutes that is dissolved in solution which determine the direction and level of diffusion. There are three types of tonicity i.e. hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic solution. If a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell, and the cell will shrink due to more solute in the external environment. In an isotonic environment, there is no water movement occurs, so there is no change in the size of the cell. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, water will enter the cell, and the cell will swell. due to lower amount of water present inside the cell.
