The cell will experience crenation and shrink. The cell will lose water through osmosis when placed in a hypertonic solution.

Cell is placed in a solution If the cell is observed to shrink the solution must be relative to the interior of the cell?
hypertonic
What kind of solution causes the cell to shrink?
salt water. this will cause the cell to lose it's water osmotically resulting in it becoming plasmolysedA hypertonic solution
If an animal cell shrinks it was probably placed in a . hypotonic solution hypertonic solution isotonic solution?
"hypertonic"
What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
What happens to the pressure inside a cell that is placed in a hypertonic solution?
The pressure inside a cell that is placed in a hypertonic solution will decrease causing the cell to shrivel due to water loss

If a cell is placed in a solution water flows from the cycloplasm of the cell to the solution?
Hypertonic
What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.

The pressure inside a cell that is placed in a hypertonic solution will decrease causing the cell to shrivel due to water loss
Water moves out of a cell if it is placed in this kind of solution?
hypertonic solution!
What causes cytosis?
when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution. Hypertonic or hypotonic, but I'm pretty sure hypertonic :)
What do you call it when a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
yes...when placed in a hypertonic solution, it goes shrinks (plasmolysis).
Does crenation take place when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
Yes
What happent to a plant cell when placed in isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic solutions?
When placed in an isotonic solution nothin will happen to the cell, but when placed in a hypotonic solution the cell will implode (not explode, thus the water will push the cell on itself until implosion occurs.) Last but not least a hypertonic solution will cause the cell to explode by too much water entering the cell because there is already more water in the cell then in the solution. So the simple answer is: Isotonic solution= nothing, hypotonic solution= implosion, and hypertonic solution= explosion.
What will cause the cell to shrink when placed in hypertonic solution?
The cytoplasm looses water to the cell exterior.
