A solution in which the salt concentration is greater outside the cell than inside the cell is known as
A hypertonic environment with regard to the cell.
Particles always move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Therefore, if the concentration of dissolved substances is greater outside the cell, they will travel into the cell until there is an equal concentration of the substance on both sides of the cell wall.
ISO-TONIC If a concentration of fluid is greater outside of the cell, then the cell will be in a hypotonic solution. Then it will expand and possibly explode. If a greater concentration of fluid is inside the cell, then the cell will be in a hypertonic solution. Then the fluid will diffuse out of the cell and it will become shriveled up and lose it's effectiveness. When the right concentration of fluid is the same as inside the cell as outside, then the solution is isotonic (where the cell wants to be).
A hypertonic solution would cause a cheek cell to shrink. The size is related to the fact that the hypertonic solution has a greater concentration of solute outside the cell.
when a concentration of something, usually water, is the same inside and outside a cell, it is called an isotonic solution. When there is more inside the cell or membrane, but less outside, the solution is hypotonic. when there is more on the outside , it is known as hypertonic. however, it depends what you are describing

It will probably burst.A hypo-tonic solution means that there is less dissolved solute in the solution than there is in the cell, and a greater concentration of the solution (ie water).Since there's a greater concentration of water outside the cell, osmosis will cause a net movement of water into the cell, causing it to swell and most-likely burst.
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.
A hypotonic solution. The concentration of solute inside the cell is greater than that outside the cell and water enters the cell by osmosis. Water travels from an area of higher water concentration (outside the cell) to an area of lower water concentration (inside the cell) and the cell swells.
A hypertonic solution would cause a cheek cell to shrink. The size is related to the fact that the hypertonic solution has a greater concentration of solute outside the cell.
Hypertonic solution.
when a concentration of something, usually water, is the same inside and outside a cell, it is called an isotonic solution. When there is more inside the cell or membrane, but less outside, the solution is hypotonic. when there is more on the outside , it is known as hypertonic. however, it depends what you are describing
Hypo-osmotic, it depends on the osmolality, if the osmolality is higher inside the cell its called hypotonic.
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.
