A cell will gain volume if it is submerged in a hypotonic solution, as there will be a net flow of water into the cell. If there is a difference in solute concentration between the inside and outside of the cell and the solutes cannot cross the membrane, the solution is hypotonic to the cell.
Cell walls that are rigid enclose plant cells. Osmosis occurs when it is submerged in a hypotonic solution, which is a solution with a lower solute concentration than the cell. The cells begin to swell as water moves from the surrounding environment into them, but because of the rigid cell walls that keep the water from bursting, the cells remain intact and become turgid.
