### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Hypotonic Solution**: - A hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solutes compared to the inside of the cell. This means that when cells are placed in a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cells by osmosis. 2. **Behavior of Red Blood Cells (RBC)**: - When red blood cells are placed in a hypotonic solution, water enters the cells due to osmosis. - RBCs do not have a cell wall; they are surrounded only by a cell membrane. ...
