Yes, and this can cause the cell to explode. This is not life threatening however, because we have skin cells to protect us.
"hypertonic"
The shrinking of a plant cell membrane away from the cell wall when placed in a hypertonic solution is plasmolysis
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
Liquid X is likely a hypertonic solution, meaning it has a higher solute concentration than the cells. When cells are placed in a hypertonic solution, water leaves the cells to try to equalize the concentration, causing them to shrink in a process called plasmolysis.
Cells placed in a hypertonic solution of pure water will tend to lose water and shrink due to the higher concentration of solutes outside the cell causing water to move out of the cell by osmosis. This can lead to dehydration and potential cell damage.
"hypertonic"
In an isotonic solution the cell would be unchanged. In a hypertonic solution water would flow out of the cell and it would shrink. In a hypotonic solution water would flow into the cell and it would expand like a balloon and possibly rupture.
A solution with a high concentration of non-permeating solutes is called hypertonic. This means that the solute concentration in the solution is higher compared to the solute concentration inside the cell. Cells placed in a hypertonic solution will lose water and shrink due to osmosis.

hypertonic solution!

Hypertonic
No, a hypertonic solution is one with a higher solute concentration compared to another solution. When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell, causing it to shrink or crenate.
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
Because a hypertonic solution will take away the water from the plant, making the plant limp.
