A cell placed in a soltuion shrinks by the process of osmosis What kind of solution is outside the cell?

Osmosis is the process in which solvent move from low to high concentration region.As per the question asked,since the cell is shrinked,the medium around the cell is hypertonic solution i.e.,solution of high concentration.

What kind of solution exists when the substances dissolved outside the cell are more abundant than those in the cytoplasm?

When solute concentration is higher on the outside of the cell, the cell is said to be in a hypertonic solution. This will result in the diffusion of water from inside the cell to outside the cell.

What happens to a cell when it is placed in a medium containing distilled water?

As you know,distilled water is a kind of hypotonic solution which means it comprises more water.If you place an animal cell into an hypotonic solution,the cell swells and finally becomes burst because of not having a rigid cell wall.Nevertheless,if you place a plant cell an hypotonic solution,it can resist the osmotic pressure due to having a rigid cell wall.As,cell wall serves turgor pressure,it assists cell not to swell and burst
