A cell if its cytoplasm contains 97% water and 3% solute and it is placed into a container that has a solution of 92% water and 8% solute - cell will lose water and shrink.
A hypertonic solution, the solution has a lower water concentration than the cell cytosol, and water moves out of the cell until both solutions are isotonic
- if you place a cell in a hypertonic solution, the cell shrinks
- it loses water as due to osmosis water moves from a higher concentration inside the cell to a lower concentration outside
- The water will move out of the cell to try to equalize.
Thus, A cell if its cytoplasm contains 97% water and 3% solute and it is placed into a container that has a solution of 92% water and 8% solute - cell will lose water and shrink.
