Hypertonic conditions make a cell shrink .
No. An isotonic solution would not cause a cell to shrink, because the concentration of water in the solution and inside the cell is the same. A hypertonic solution would cause a cell to shrink.
A plant cell typically enlarges in all directions due to the presence of a cell wall that allows for expansion. This process of cell enlargement is regulated by the uptake of water into the vacuole, which exerts pressure on the cell wall, causing it to stretch and expand.
The plant cell will shrink, but its cell wall will prevent it from completely collapsing. In contrast, the animal cell will shrink and may undergo crenation due to the hypertonic solution causing water to leave the cell.
When a cell is placed in salt water it will shrink, but will swell in carbonated water. m.c
The cell membrane and all its organelles would burst.

If you place the cell in a hypertonic solution (a solution with a higher concentration of salt than the cell) the cell membrane would shrink.
What causes a cell to shrink because of osmosis?
A hypertonic solution would cause a cheek cell to shrink. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than inside, leading to water leaving the cell by osmosis, causing it to shrink.
hypotonic solution
hypertonic :)

it will shrink the cell when place on hyper tonic solution, otherwise it will swell in contrary
Undergoing dehydration or plasmolysis due to loss of water. This can occur when the cell is placed in a hypertonic environment where water is drawn out of the cell, causing the cytoplasm to shrink away from the cell wall.
Plant cells have rigid cell walls made of cellulose that provide structural support and prevent the cell from shrinking in a hypertonic solution (like a salt solution). The cell wall maintains the cell's shape and prevents excessive water loss by osmosis. Animal cells do not have cell walls and will shrink in a hypertonic solution due to water loss.
it makes cell size shrink
