Dear student,
If animal and plant cells are kept in isotonic solution then cells will not swell or shrink. Hence, there will not be any change in cells. ... As a result, the cell would shrink is called plasmolysis. The water moves from a region of low osmolarity (extracellular fluid) to a region of high osmolarity (inside the cell).
