Hypotonic - water will enter the cell from the external region of high water potential to the region of lower water potential inside the cell by osmosis causing the cell to swell and eventually burst.

Hypertonic - water will leave the cell by osmosis from the internal high water potential to the external lower water potential by osmosis causing the cell to lose volume and shrink.
