plasmolysis
It is called plasmolysis. The cytoplasm and vacuole shrink but cell wall remains the same.
Waning
The salt solution likely caused the cells of the Rhoeo discolor leaf to undergo plasmolysis, where water leaves the cells due to the higher concentration of salt outside the cell. This can lead to the cells shrinking and the leaf wilting or shrinking in size.
shrinking of blood
If cells are observed shrinking when placed in a solution, it indicates that the solution is hypertonic relative to the cell's internal environment. This means that the concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than inside, causing water to flow out of the cells in an attempt to balance the solute concentrations. As a result, the cells lose water and shrink.
It's called "physics". We could possibly be more specific if you told us why you thought the Earth ought to be shrinking.
The loss of isotonic solution leads to either swelling or shrinking of cells.
The shrinking of cytoplasm by osmosis is called plasmolysis. This occurs when a plant cell loses water due to a hypertonic environment, causing the cell membrane to detach from the cell wall.
A plasmolysis solution is the opposite of a hypotonic solution because in a plasmolysis solution the cell will shrink due to the little amount of water outside the cell and the greater amount of water inside the cell. A plasmolysis solution only occurs in plant cells.
