A hypertonic solution outside the cell is drawing out the water osmotically through the membrane. Solute/solvent where one is highly concentrated, solute, you will find water, the cell's solvent with the solute. Solute " sops " up free water molecules, so to speak.

What is the shrinking of a cell due to loss of water?
Osmosis, or diffusion of water across a membrane, is the process that's happening when a cell's cytoplasm shrinks due to water loss. The process by which a plant cell's cytoplasm shrinks due to water loss is called plasmolysis
Will osmosis cause thisIf the concentration of glucose in the water outside of a cell is higher than the concentration inside?
When the concentration of the glucose in the water outside the cell is higher than the concentration inside, the water will then have a tendency to leave the cell. The process of the water leaving the cell will be by osmosis.
Osmosis in living organism?
osmosis is in living organism .osmosis is a flow of liquid from higher concentration to lower concentration . all living organisms undergoes this process.for eg: due to over heat our body undergoes osmosis process by emitting the sweat outside
What does basophilic cytoplasm mean?

Why are krill numbers shrinking due to human cause?
penis
Why does osmosis cause elodea leaf cells to shrink?
Due to plasmolysis
What is plasmoysis?
The shrinking of protoplasm away from the cell wall of a plant or bacterium due to water loss from osmosis, thereby resulting in gaps between the cell wall and cell membrane.
Why is it that when unicellular organism when placed in a concentrated salt will dehydrated?
because the cytoplasm has a low concentration of salt while the outside has a high concentration bacause of this water comes out of the cell due to osmosis
What is the bursting of red blood cells due to osmosis?
The bursting of cells due to osmosis is known as cytolysis
Why is Niagara Falls shrinking?
It is due to erosion
Why not inject distilled water into arm?
This will increase the water potential of the blood, and cause your blood cells to burst due to osmosis.
Is the Brady glacier growing or shrinking?
It's growing As of 2013, the glacier is shrinking quickly due to global warming.
What will happen to the water in the capillary tube during the investigation of osmosis?
It will increase due to osmosis

In a star a balance exist between gravity shrinking and expansion due to fusion energy released.
What is shrinking of a red blood cell due to water loss?
Crenation
