Why will the blood cell shrivel and possibly die inside a hypertonic salt solution?
There was more salt/solute outside of the cell, and the solute "sucks" away the water from the cell;making it shrink and possibly collapse in itself.
What will the water do if you immerse a living cell into hypertonic solution?
When dealing with cells and their surrounding environment, if the outside of the cell is hypertonic (more salty), water will move out of the cell. This is an effort for the concentration of the salt to even out. The cell will shrink as a result.
What hypertonic means to illustrate equilibrium?
Hypertonic is when you have a high concentration of solute relative to the solvent. For example, salt water is a hypertonic solution with vast amounts of sodium, chlorine, potassium, and iodine dissolved in water.

What will happen when you put an animal cell in a in hypertonic solution?
it will shrink
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
Which type of solution would cause a cheek cell to shrink?
A hypertonic solution would cause a cheek cell to shrink. The size is related to the fact that the hypertonic solution has a greater concentration of solute outside the cell.
What will happen to a cell dropped into a solution of hypertonic salt water?
A cell immersed is a hypertonic solution will tend to lose water to the solution and shrink.
Cells placed in a hypertonic solution will shrink or swell?
it will shrink the cell when place on hyper tonic solution, otherwise it will swell in contrary
What are the results when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
The cell will experience crenation and shrink. The cell will lose water through osmosis when placed in a hypertonic solution.
What happens to cells in saltwater?
cells shrink because salt water is hypertonic solution.
What happens to a cell in a hypertonic solution?
water moves out. when water diffuses out of the cell, the cell shrinks, that is Hypertonic solution.
