Salt is "hygroscopic" or "water attracting". The cell "wall" is a membrane, and water can seep through a membrane, and will travel one way or the other until the proportion of salt in the water is equalized on each side of the membrane.
A living cell has a fairly low salinity, while a salt solution may have a fairly high salinity. So water will flow from the cell, leaving salt IN the cell, while diluting (in some miniscule fashion) the salt solution outside.

If an animal cell shrinks it was probably placed in a . hypotonic solution hypertonic solution isotonic solution?
"hypertonic"
All cell placed in a solution shrinks by the procee of osmosis?
When a cell is placed in a solution with a higher solute concentration than the cell's cytoplasm, water will move out of the cell through osmosis, causing the cell to shrink or plasmolyze. This occurs because water moves from an area of high concentration (outside the cell) to an area of low concentration (inside the cell), leading to a decrease in the cell's volume.

Why does a cell placed in hypotonic solution swell?
A cell placed in a hypotonic solution will swell because the solute concentration outside the cell is lower than inside. Water will move from the solution into the cell to equalize the concentration, causing the cell to expand and potentially burst.
What are the results when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will move out of the cell, causing it to shrink or shrivel up. This is because the concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than inside, creating an osmotic gradient that leads to water loss from the cell.

Shape and size of red blood cell when put in slty solution?
A red blood cell when placed in salty solution shrinks and becomes wrinkled.
What do you call it when a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
yes...when placed in a hypertonic solution, it goes shrinks (plasmolysis).
When plant is place in hypotonic solution?
the plant cell shrinks and this is because concentration is high in the solution and less in plant cell
What is a solution that neither shrinks nor swells a cell?
A cell placed in an isotonic solution will not shrink or swell. Isotonic means that the concentration of solutes in the solution is equal to the concentration of solutes within the cell. Since both concentrations are the same, no water flows in or out of the cell due to osmotic pressure.

What is plasymolysis?
Plasmolysis is the process in which a plant cell loses water and shrinks away from the cell wall when placed in a hypertonic solution. This can cause the cell membrane to separate from the cell wall.
If a cell is dropped into a solution and the cell shrinks what should be assumed about the solution?
The solution is likely hypertonic and water is leaving the cell.
What is it called when it causes a cell to shrink because of osmosis?
CRENATION An animal cell shrinks by crenation when it is placed in a hypertonic solution (the solution has more "stuff" in it than the cell.) The water from the cell moves out to the solution in an attempt to equilibrate the concentrations. In so doing, it shrivels and becomes CRENATED. Conversely, an animal cell expands and bursts in a process called LYSIS. Opposite to crenation this occurs in a hypotonic solution. Water from the solution moves into the cell in an attempt to equilibrate. The internal pressure becomes to great and the cell lyses.
