It would shrivel up and die, because water would flow out of the cell.

Which solution would most likely cause a plant placed in it to become firmer and more rigid?

hypertonic


What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?

Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.


What would happen to a houseplant if you water it with salt water hypertonic solution?

It will die.


What are conditions necessary to cause water to diffuse out of a cell?

If the concentration of water inside the cell is higher, water will leave the cell. This would happen if a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution.


What would happen if fluid outside the cells became hypertonic?

Acell placed in a highly concentrated solution will result in the water molecules diffusing out of the cell. Eventually, the cell will shrink. It should be noted, however, that not all cells in a hypertonic solution will shrink. The cells have ways to circumvent hypertonicity (see osmoregulation).


What would happen to a plant cell if it was placed into a beaker containing a hypertonic solution?

The plant cell would lose water through osmosis and shrink in size due to the higher concentration of solutes in the hypertonic solution compared to the cell. This process is called plasmolysis, and it can lead to wilting of the plant cell.


What happens to cells placed in isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic solutions using diagrams?

In an isotonic solution the cell would be unchanged. In a hypertonic solution water would flow out of the cell and it would shrink. In a hypotonic solution water would flow into the cell and it would expand like a balloon and possibly rupture.


What would happen to a blood cell placed in a hyper tonic salt solution?

A red blood cell placed in a hypertonic salt solution will lose water and shrink due to the higher concentration of salt outside the cell. This process is known as crenation, and it can ultimately lead to the cell's death if the condition is not corrected.


What would occur if a plant cell were placed into a strong hypertonic solution?

Your large intestine would take in the water and it would give you diarrhea.


What would happen to a loin fish in a hypertonic solution?

The solution will gain water from the fish, till the fish shrinks, and if the fish is not removed from the solution, the fish will die


When would a cell shrink?

Cells would shrink if they were placed in a salty environment. Salt has a lower phi, or water pressure, than the interior of the cell, and the water in the cell would naturally flow out of it through osmosis. The cell would become hyper-osmotic in respect to the environment around it.
