1. When a plant cell is immersed in a solution with low water potential, the water potential of its cell sap is higher than that of the solution outside its cell.
2. water will leave the cell by osmosis. As the cell loses water the vacuole decreases in size and the cytoplasm shrinks away from the cell wall.
3. the shrinkage of cytoplasm and cell membrane away from the cell wall is known as plasmolyses or dehydrated cell. the cell is said to be plasmolysed. A plasmolysed cell can be restored to its original state by placing it in water or in a solution with high water potential.

∙ 13y agoA hypertonic solution is less concentrated compared to the cytoplasm of the animal cell. When an animal cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water diffuses across the selectively permeable cell membrane in an attempt to form an equilibrium between the two liquids. If the solution is hypertonic enough compared to the cell's cytoplasm, the cell would swell and could possibly explode.

∙ 9y agoWhen an animal cell is placed into a hypertonic solution, the water will generally flow out of the cell in an effort to balance the concentration of solutes.

∙ 12y agoIn a hypertonic solution the cell's fluid will move out of the cell and into the surrounding solution (osmosis) , causing the cell to shrink.

∙ 12y agoIf you put a animal cell in hypertonic than the animal cell will shrink because hypertonic contains salt which the cell is not use to so it will shrink.

If an animal cell shrinks it was probably placed in a . hypotonic solution hypertonic solution isotonic solution?
"hypertonic"
What happens to a animal cell when placed in an hypertonic solution?
In a hypertonic solution water is most likely to move out of the cell because it is in a high concentration and the cell will shrink. They tend to give up water across the permiable cell membrane
What happens to a cell in a hypertonic solution?
water moves out. when water diffuses out of the cell, the cell shrinks, that is Hypertonic solution.
What will happen to a cell in a hypertonic solution?
I will take the cell to be animal cell. The hypertonic solution is taken as hypertonic saline solution. The cell will shrink in that case. There will be loss of water to the exterior of the cell. The biochemical cellular functions will be adversely affected. The cell may die if the solution is sufficiently hypertonic.
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

What will happen when you put an animal cell in a in hypertonic solution?
it will shrink
What happens when a solution is hypertonic?
the cell lets out water to make it an isotonic solution

A cell is dropped into a solution and the cell swells the solution is?
hypertonic hypertonic
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.
What refers to a solution with more molecules outside the cell than inside the cell?
hypertonic solution
What happens in a hypertonic solution?
In a hypertonic solution there is a higher concentration of a solute than another. Water diffuses out of the cell making it shrivel up.
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
