Salt water is a hypertonic solution; therefore, the vacuole in the cell will shrink. The water in the cell's vacuole exits the plasma membrane to balance the solutions, and since the salt can not enter through the cells differentialy permeable membrane the cell is only loosing substance so it shrinks. When the elodea cells are in fresh water there is no reaction. Elodea is a fresh water plant
When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will move out of the cell, causing it to shrink or shrivel up. This is because the concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than inside, creating an osmotic gradient that leads to water loss from the cell.
When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water will enter the cell. This is called lysis. When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell (causing it to shrink). This is called plasmolysis.
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
The phenomenon is known as plasmolysis, where a cell loses water through osmosis causing the cell membrane to shrink away from the cell wall. This occurs when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution with a higher solute concentration than the cytoplasm of the cell.
When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution with higher solute concentration than inside the cell, water will move out of the cell via osmosis to balance the concentration. This loss of water causes the cell to shrink and may lead to cell dehydration and potential cell death.
A red blood cell placed in pure (distilled) water will explode because of osmosis.Substances naturally seek equilibrium through osmosis by going from areas of high concentration to low concentration, the concentration of H2O is much greater outside the cell than inside and as a result water will rush into the cell and burst the membrane.
Water leaves the cell, causing the cell to shrink.
When a cell is placed in salt water it will shrink, but will swell in carbonated water. m.c

If an onion cell epidermis is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will move out of the cell due to osmosis, causing the cell to shrink and the cell membrane to pull away from the cell wall. This process is known as plasmolysis.
It will undergo crenation. This means that the red blood cell will shrink in size and become shrivelled-looking. This is due to osmosis, which is the net movement of water molecules from a region of higher water potential (red blood cell) to a region of lower water potential (hypertonic solution) through a partially-permeable membrane (cell membrane).
it will shrink the cell when place on hyper tonic solution, otherwise it will swell in contrary
