I will take the cell to be animal cell. The hypertonic solution is taken as hypertonic saline solution. The cell will shrink in that case. There will be loss of water to the exterior of the cell. The biochemical cellular functions will be adversely affected. The cell may die if the solution is sufficiently hypertonic.
What else can I help you with?
A cell is dropped into a solution and the cell swells the solution is?
hypertonic hypertonic
If an animal cell shrinks it was probably placed in a . hypotonic solution hypertonic solution isotonic solution?
"hypertonic"
What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
What is it called when the concentration of solutes is greater outside the cell the inside?
A hypertonic environment with regard to the cell.
What kind of solution causes the cell to shrink?
salt water. this will cause the cell to lose it's water osmotically resulting in it becoming plasmolysedA hypertonic solution
What will happen when you put an animal cell in a in hypertonic solution?
it will shrink
What refers to a solution with more molecules outside the cell than inside the cell?
hypertonic solution
A cell is dropped into a solution and the cell swells the solution is?
hypertonic hypertonic
If an animal cell shrinks it was probably placed in a . hypotonic solution hypertonic solution isotonic solution?

What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
If a cell is dropped in any solution and the cell does not change size by either shrinking or swelling what is the solution?
isotonic
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.)
What is it called when the concentration of solutes is greater outside the cell the inside?
A hypertonic environment with regard to the cell.

salt water. this will cause the cell to lose it's water osmotically resulting in it becoming plasmolysedA hypertonic solution
What will happen to a cell dropped into a solution of hypertonic salt water?
The cell will lose water due to osmosis, causing it to shrink or shrivel up. The higher concentration of salt outside the cell compared to inside creates a hypertonic environment, leading to water moving out of the cell to try to balance the concentration inside and outside.
Cell is placed in a solution If the cell is observed to shrink the solution must be relative to the interior of the cell?
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.
Is a hypertonic solution is one with low solute concentration?
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.
