It will shrivel when the concentration of a solute is higher on the outside because water will leave the cell to try and balance out the concentration.

Water will diffuse out of a cell when the cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
You are correct. A hypertonic solution is a solution outside the cell that has more solute in it that water. This means that there is more water inside the cell than solute. Because there is more water in the cell, it will diffuse out of it and the cell will shrivel up.
What happens to a animal cell when placed in an hypertonic solution?
In a hypertonic solution water is most likely to move out of the cell because it is in a high concentration and the cell will shrink. They tend to give up water across the permiable cell membrane
What solution will cause hemolysis?
Hemolysis is the bursting of red blood cells (hemo- blood and lysis- bursting). There are three types of solutions that blood can be put into: hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic. The names of these give you some clue as to how the cell will behave in solution. Hypertonic solutions have greater osmotic pressure than the cells they contain, which will cause the cell to shrivel as its contents diffuse into the solution. Hypotonic solutions have less osmotic pressure than the cells inside of them, so the contents of solution will diffuse across the cell membrane and into the cell, eventually causing it to swell and burst (hemolysis). Isotonic solutions have osmotic pressure equal to that of the solutes they contain, so no net change is observed.
What happens to animal cells in salt water?
Salt water is hypertonic (has more solute) to the cell. So when an animal cell is put in salt solution water will rush out and the cell will shrivel up because there is too much salt and too little water inside. the salt solution is said to be hypertonic to the cytoplasm of the cells.
When a plant needs water it will wilt but the tissues themselves remain rigid explain why?
the cell wall that is made up of cellulose are rigid molecules. If a plant lacks water, the cells inside the cell wall shrivel and die but the wall will stay firm
What will happen to the cell wall if a sugar solution is added to a cell?
it will shrivel up and die
What would happen if too little water moves into a cell?
it will shrivel up
Why do frogs shrivel up when they die?
Cause you touch yourself at night.
What will happen to a red blood cell when placed in a strong salt solution?
It will shrivel up and possibly die.
What will happen if if a red blood cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
The water from the cytoplasm within the red blood cell will move out of the cell into the environment and the cell itself will shrivel up.
What is the meaning of shrivel?
To draw, or be drawn, into wrinkles; to shrink, and form corrugations; as, a leaf shriveles in the hot sun; the skin shrivels with age; -- often with up., To cause to shrivel or contract; to cause to shrink onto corruptions.
What happens in hypertonic solutions?
In a hypertonic solution there is a higher concentration of a solute than another. Water diffuses out of the cell making it shrivel up.
What provide rigidity in plant cells?
The cell wall and the vacuole. When not supplied enough water, the vacuole will shrivel up, causing a plant to wilt.
What happens in a hypertonic solution?
In a hypertonic solution there is a higher concentration of a solute than another. Water diffuses out of the cell making it shrivel up.
What would most likely happen to a onion cell of it were placed in a liquid with a concentration of solutes?
In a hypotonic environment, an onion cell will fill up with water. Hypotonic refers to a solution that has lower osmotic pressure than the solution you're comparing it to.
Water will diffuse out of a cell when the cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
You are correct. A hypertonic solution is a solution outside the cell that has more solute in it that water. This means that there is more water inside the cell than solute. Because there is more water in the cell, it will diffuse out of it and the cell will shrivel up.
What will happen if put plant cell in salty water?
Salt draws water from plant cells. This causes the cells to dehydrate and the plant to shrivel up and die.
