Solution causes a cell to swell by osmosis
Osmosis, which is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from where it is in high concentration to where it is in lower concentration. The purpose of osmosis is to equalize the concentration of solutes inside a cell and outside a cell.
During osmosis water moves in and out of the cell equally in both directions.
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.
it is an isotonic solution.

The cell will experience crenation and shrink. The cell will lose water through osmosis when placed in a hypertonic solution.
water enters a cell by osmosis, causing the cell to swell.
Describe how water molecules move through the cell membrane during osmosis?
By controlling solute concentration inside the cell :D
plasmolysis
Osmosis is the diffusion of water - and a hypotonic solution means it expands. a plant cell sap has a lower water potential causing the water to enter the cell - it does not fight osmosis, it works with it.
