Hypertonic solution. To further elaborate my point, hypertonic solution is a solution which has less water potential and more solutes as compared to inside the cell. Osmosis is the movement of water from a region of high water potential to low water potential through a partially permeable membrane. Therefore, water leaves the cell into the solution.
Hope this helps!!:)

∙ 12y agoIf the cell is placed in a more concentrated saline solution (and the cell does not have the ability to close it's membrane to water loss) it will loose water by osmosis. A similar cell will rupture if placed in a solution that has a lower salt concentration than it's interior.

What happens when water moves out of a cell if the cell is placed in a what solution?
Hypotonic Solution
If water moves into a cell and the cells swells it's called what?
When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water enters the cell through osmosis, and the cell swells.
What happens to a cell when it is placed into a solution that is hypo-tonic to it?
Water moves into the cell by osmosis. If it is a plant cell, it will become fully turgid. If it is an animal cell, the cell will become larger and larger and will eventually burst.
What happens to a cell that is placed in a hypertonic hypotonic and isotonic environment?
An Animal Cell in hypertonic solution will look shriveled due to osmotic effects on the cell. the hypertonic solution means there is more water potential outside of the cell, water moves from a low water potential to a high water potential. Therefore the water diffuses out of the cell decreasing the volume bringing the cell membrane in making it look shriveled up.
If an erythrocyte is placed in a hypertonic solution what will it do?
If a human red blood cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, the red blood cell will swell and eventually burst. The reason for this is because a hypotonic solution has a higher osmotic pressure compared to the cytoplasm of the red blood cell. Thus, the water from the hypotonic solution moves into the red blood cell causing it to rupture.
What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
What happens when water moves out of a cell if the cell is placed in a what solution?
Hypotonic Solution
Water moves out of a cell if it is placed in this kind of solution?
hypertonic solution!
If a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution water moves into the cell and collects in?
It probably collects in the plant cell vacuoles.
If an animal cell is placed in a hypotonic solution water moves into the cell causing the cell to swell and possibly burst?
Which is called Plasmoptysis.
What happens when excess water enters the plant cell?
If excess water moves into an animal cell, it will eventually burst. This happens if the cell is placed in a hypotonic solution (a solution with a lower solute concentration than the cell).
What type of solution is a cell in if water moves into the cell?
It is in a Hypotonic Solution.
If water moves into a cell and the cells swells it's called what?
When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water enters the cell through osmosis, and the cell swells.
What change in cell volume will occur when a cell is placed in a hypotonic colution?
water will move from the solution into the cell, causing the cell to swell. (higher concentration of water outside the cell, lower conc. inside, so water moves in)
If a cell is placed in a solution water flows from the cycloplasm of the cell to the solution?
Hypertonic
When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution will the flow of water be in or out of the cell?
The water will flow out of the cell.
What chages in cell volume will occur if a cell is placed in a hypotonic sloution?
A change in cell volume that will occur when a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution is that a cell will expand. Water will move from the solution into the cell. If enough water enters the cell the cell will expand and eventually burst.
