Question

what happens if you put an animal cell in a hypotonic solution? the cell will stay the same size. the cell will burst.

Explanation:

In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the animal cell is lower than inside. So, water moves into the cell via osmosis. Animal cells lack a cell wall (unlike plant cells), so they can't resist the influx of water. This causes the cell to swell and eventually burst. The first option is incorrect as the cell won't stay the same size due to osmotic water movement.

Answer:

The cell will burst.
