Hyper tonic means when one part of a cell has a higher activity of fluids from the higher chance of solute
hypertonic hypertonic
A hypertonic environment with regard to the cell.
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
The solution must be hypertonic compared to the interior of the cell, meaning that it has a higher concentration of solutes. This causes water to leave the cell by osmosis, leading to shrinkage.

A hypertonic environment with regard to the cell.
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
isotonic
The solution must be hypertonic compared to the interior of the cell, meaning that it has a higher concentration of solutes. This causes water to leave the cell by osmosis, leading to shrinkage.
"hypertonic"
A hypertonic solution has a higher solute concentration than the cell the solution is in. (So the cell will shrink when it is in a hypertonic solution, because water will leave the cell in an attempt to balance the ratios of solute to water both inside and outside of the cell.)
salt water. this will cause the cell to lose it's water osmotically resulting in it becoming plasmolysedA hypertonic solution
hypertonic
When there is more salt around the cell than in the cell
