Answer:

it will go in

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypo" means "Under". So the amount of solute is under the amount of solvent.if you place a red blood cell in a hypotonic solution it will burst. A hypotonic solution has a low solute concentration than the inside of the cells (solute concentration in the cell is high). Osmotic forces then cause water from a solution to enter the cells.
