Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hypotonic means that the solute concentration of a fluid is lower than that of a cell or another fluid. Movement of molecules through a membrane would occur from higher solute concentration (in the cell) to lower solute concentration (in the hypotonic fluid). Therefore, the movement of molecules would be into this fluid.
