water moves out. when water diffuses out of the cell, the cell shrinks, that is Hypertonic solution.

What happens in a hypertonic solution?

In a hypertonic solution there is a higher concentration of a solute than another. Water diffuses out of the cell making it shrivel up.

What happens if the alcohol treated cell is kept in hypertonic solution?

If an alcohol-treated cell is kept in a hypertonic solution, it will likely shrink due to osmosis. The hypertonic solution has a higher solute concentration than the cell, causing water to move out of the cell and into the solution, leading to cell dehydration and shrinkage.

What happens to a cell that is placed in a hypertonic hypotonic and isotonic environment?

An Animal Cell in hypertonic solution will look shriveled due to osmotic effects on the cell. the hypertonic solution means there is more water potential outside of the cell, water moves from a low water potential to a high water potential. Therefore the water diffuses out of the cell decreasing the volume bringing the cell membrane in making it look shriveled up.


What does a hypertonic solution have?

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.)
