The water inside the cell was less salty and therefore had more water than the outside. Water then leave the cells and they will become 'wrinkled' looking or wilted.
When comparing two solutions, the solution with the greater concentration of solute is called hypertonic. This means that it has a higher solute concentration compared to the other solution.
The greater the concentration of salt in an aqueous solution, the higher the electrical conductivity. This is because, with a greater salt concentration, there are more ions available to serve as a path for electron transfer in the solution.
A solution with a pH of 9 has a greater concentration of hydroxide ions than a solution with a pH of 3. The pH scale is a logarithmic scale, with each unit representing a tenfold difference in hydrogen ion concentration. Therefore, a solution with a pH of 9 has a concentration of hydroxide ions 1,000 times greater than a solution with a pH of 3.
It often depends. The one with more solute has a higher concentration of solute than the other. In pertaining to osmosis, the hypotonic (or hypoosmotic) solution has less solute and more water over a semi-permeable membrane where the hyperotonic (or hyperosmotic) solution has more solute and less water over a semi-permeable membrane.
A solution with a greater concentration of H+ ions has a lower pH value, indicating an acidic solution, while a solution with a greater concentration of OH- ions has a higher pH value, indicating a basic solution. The concentration of H+ and OH- ions in a solution are inversely related in water, following the equation: [H+][OH-] = 10^-14 at 25°C.
The concentration of material is greater on the outside of the cell than the inside in a hypertonic solution. In this solution, there is a higher concentration of solutes outside the cell compared to inside, causing water to move out of the cell, leading to cell shrinkage.
There is a greater concentration of Na plus outside and there is a greater concentration of K plus inside the cell. When the stimulus is delivered, the permeability of the membrane is changed, and Na plus diffuses into the cell, initiating the depolarization of the membrane.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, osmosis is defined as "a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one" (OED 2013). The greater mass present in the higher concentrated solution of the solvent causes the water molecule to pass through the sempermeable membrane until the water concentration of water with concentrated solution are balanced on both sides.
