You are correct. A hypertonic solution is a solution outside the cell that has more solute in it that water. This means that there is more water inside the cell than solute. Because there is more water in the cell, it will diffuse out of it and the cell will shrivel up.
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
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.
In a hypertonic solution water is most likely to move out of the cell because it is in a high concentration and the cell will shrink. They tend to give up water across the permiable cell membrane
Both water and salt will diffuse in an attempt to reach equilibrium. In a hypertonic solution, water will move out of the red blood cell into the solution, causing the cell to shrink. At the same time, salt from the solution will move into the red blood cell to balance the concentration gradient.
The pressure inside a cell that is placed in a hypertonic solution will decrease causing the cell to shrivel due to water loss
If the concentration of water inside the cell is higher, water will leave the cell. This would happen if a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution.
hypertonic solution!
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.

A hypertonic solution.
yes...when placed in a hypertonic solution, it goes shrinks (plasmolysis).

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.
Because a hypertonic solution will take away the water from the plant, making the plant limp.
