If a cell is placed in salt water, water leaves the cell by osmosis.
If a cell is placed in salt water, water leaves the cell by osmosis.
When a cell is placed in a Hypotonic solution, the water diffuses into the cell, causing the cell to swell and possibly explode.

Osmosis
When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will move out of the cell, causing it to shrink or shrivel up. This is because the concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than inside, creating an osmotic gradient that leads to water loss from the cell.
When a cell is placed in a water solution with the same salt concentration as the cell, it is in an isotonic environment. In this condition, there is no net movement of water into or out of the cell, as the osmotic pressure is balanced. Consequently, the cell maintains its shape and size, and cellular processes can function normally without stress from osmotic pressure changes.
Hypotonic :) good luck on plato :D
hi!!! if a cell is placed inside a salt solution then cell boundary going for raptured due to the water molecules comes out from cell to maintain the cons. equilibria.
The cell expands/gets bigger.
