A hypertonic solution is one with more dissolved substances/less water/higher osmotic potential than another fluid. A cell placed in a solution with a lower water potential than itself will undergo exosmosis/water will move out the cell.
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.
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.
it will shrink the cell when place on hyper tonic solution, otherwise it will swell in contrary
salt water. this will cause the cell to lose it's water osmotically resulting in it becoming plasmolysedA hypertonic solution
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.

A solution that causes cells to shrink when placed in it is termed "hypertonic." In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than inside, leading to water moving out of the cell to balance the solute concentrations. This results in cell shrinkage, or crenation, as the cells lose water.

Hypertonic solutions cause cells to lose water.

Yes, sucrose is considered hypertonic because it has a higher solute concentration compared to the solution it is placed in, causing water to move out of the cells through osmosis.
