If you place the cell in a hypertonic solution (a solution with a higher concentration of salt than the cell) the cell membrane would shrink.

Cytoplasm in a plant cell will shrink if the cell is?

Undergoing dehydration or plasmolysis due to loss of water. This can occur when the cell is placed in a hypertonic environment where water is drawn out of the cell, causing the cytoplasm to shrink away from the cell wall.


What is the shrinking of plant cells when water leaves the cell membrane?

It is called plasmolysis. The cytoplasm and vacuole shrink but cell wall remains the same.

What will happen to a plant cell if its placed into a solution whose solute concentration is twice as great as the concentration of the cell cytoplasm?

If a plant cell is placed in a solution with a solute concentration that is twice as great as that of its cytoplasm, the cell will undergo plasmolysis. Water will move out of the cell to balance the solute concentrations, causing the cell to shrink and the plasma membrane to pull away from the cell wall. This can lead to wilting and, if prolonged, may damage the cell's internal structures.
