Osmosis will occur, where you place a cell in high salt the cell will shriveled, and if it is in a low salt environment, the cell will burst.
When a cell is bathed in fluids and water flows out of the cell, it is immersed in a hypertonic solution. In a hypertonic environment, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than inside, causing water to move out to balance the solute concentrations. This results in the cell shrinking or undergoing crenation.
The cell is immersed in a hypertonic solution. In a hypertonic environment, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than inside, causing water to flow out of the cell in an attempt to equalize solute concentrations. This results in the cell losing water and potentially shrinking.
When the solute concentration is lower in the environment than in the cell, the cell is in a hypotonic solution. Water will move into the cell through osmosis because of the concentration gradient, potentially causing the cell to swell or burst.
A hypertonic environment is one in which the concentration of solutes outside of a cell is higher than inside the cell. This concentration gradient causes water to move out of the cell, leading to the cell shrinking or shriveling up. It can disrupt normal cellular functions and potentially be harmful to the cell.
Due to osmosis, when the cell is in a very dilute external environment, the water in its surrounding will diffuse into the cell to reach equilibrium balancing the solutes in the cell with the dilute environment that the cell is in.

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.

Factors such as osmotic pressure, active transport mechanisms, and selective permeability of the cell membrane can influence the concentration of water and solutes in the internal environment of a cell. Additionally, external factors like the concentration of solutes in the surrounding environment can also impact the balance of water and solutes inside the cell.
A cell with a greater solute concentration in the external environment is hypertonic state. This means that water will be drawn out of the cell and into the external environment causing the cell to shrivel up.
When cells are placed in a higher concentration of water (a hypotonic solution), water will move into the cell through osmosis, causing the cell to swell and potentially burst (lyse). This can disrupt the cell's internal environment and lead to cell damage or death.
water will move from a high H2O concentration inside the cell, to a low H2O concentration outside the cell.
A cell that neither gains nor loses water when it is immersed in a solution is called isotonic to its environment. Cells with a higher concentration of ions than the surrounding medium tend to expand.
protoplasm tends to shrink due to NaCl..causing it to dehydrate and pulling the water out of the cell..
