Q

Hypotonic

A

More substance inside the cell, less on the outside

Think of hypotonic as hippo because hippos are bigger. And the cell gets bigger

Q

Phospholipids

A

Made up of hydrophilic head and hydrophobia tails.
Heads from outside and inside since environment is usually wet

Hydrophilic=likes water
Hydrophobia=hates water
