Some plant cells were placed in a concentrated sugar solution. Their cytoplasm and cell membranes shrank and pulled away from the cell walls. What is the term for this condition?

You are seeing what is called dehydration due to the loss of water in the cells. Adding salt instead of sugar will due the same thing. And salt will actually cause a total loss of water from the cells.

Why does a plant cell lose water by osmosis when put in a concentrated solution?
Not just plant cells, all cells with semi-permeable membranes loose water when placed in a more highly concentrated solution.
What are some examples of concentrated solutions?
Examples: - concentrated solution of sulfuric acid - concentrated solution of nitric acid - concentrated solution of ethanol - concentrated solution of sugar (syrup) - concentrated solution of table salt
Is water and sugar a concentrated solution?
No solution is concentrated when there is water in it
What is a solution that has very few solute particles dissolved in the solvent?
Concentrated solution. (High density solution) Supersaturated solution if amount of solute is greater than its solubility in the solvent at the given temperature.
What will happen if an amoeba is placed in a solution that is less concentrated than its cytoplasm?
I believe the solution would be considered hypotonic. in which case the amoeba would let water (H2O) out of its body to regulate the solute concentration (to make it equal)
Cytoplasm in a plant cell will shrink if the cell is?
a) place in a concentrated salt solution.
What occurs in a hypertonic solution?
Water diffuses out of the cell, and the cytoplasm shrinks and gets more concentrated .

A DILUTE solution is the usual terminology for a less concentrated solution.
