What will most likely occur when a cell is placed into a saline solution that has a higher salt concentration than the cell?

Water will flow out of the cell and the cell will shrivel in a process called crenation.

Why does a raw egg swell or shrink when placed in different solutions?
A raw egg without its shell but with its inner membrane intact will either swell or shrink when placed in a solution because of the concentration gradient. The membrane is semi-permeable. An egg will shrink if it is placed in a solution that has a higher solute concentration than inside it. It will swell if it is placed in a solution that has a lower solute concentration than inside the egg.
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.
When a plant with flexible cell walls is placed in a hypertonic solution what happens?
The plant with flexible cell walls when placed in a hypertonic solution tends to grow larger in size by uptaking the solution by the principle of osmosis where molecules from higher concentration moves to a region of lower concentration and this happens in the cell through small minute pores present in the cell walls.
A celery stalk is placed in a solution it begins to wilt what is a likely component of that solution?
Most likely the solution is water and salt. The salt in the water causes the celery to pull water out of itself to try and even out the salt to water concentration. This causes the celery to wilt.
If cells are placed in a solution with a high concentration of solute water will?
the molecules will pass from the salt solution to the cells.

What will happen if a blood cell is placed in a hypertonic salt solution?
A hypertonic solution is a solution that has a high concentration of solute, in this case the solute being salt. When a red blood cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, since the salt concentration is higher in the outside of the cell, the water concentration is lower there as well. Therefore, through the process of osmosis, the water diffuses from the inside of the cell to the outside of the cell.
What solution is placed in the cell when the concentration of dissolved substances will be greater in the cell than in the solution in which it is placed?
Suger

What is the solution concentration of dissolved substances will be greater in the cell than in the solution in which it is placed?
Hypotonic
Why cell?
If placed in a hypertonic solution, cells will shrink because the solute concentration outside the cell will be higher than inside the cell. This causes the movement of water out of the cell (in order to equalise the concentration).

What happens when the concentration of dissolved substances is in the same in both the cell and the solution in which it is placed?
Isotonic solution
If a cell is placed in a what solution the concentration of dissolved substances will be greater in the solution than in the cell?
isotonic.
If a cell is placed in what solution the concentration of dissolved substances will be the same in both the cell and the solution in which it is placed?
Hypotonic :) good luck on plato :D
