ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -When a cell is kept in hypertonic solution for a long time it shrinks. The water inside the cell moves out as the concentration outside the cell is higher. As a result, the cell shrinks. This is also known as plasmolysis .

Detailed explanation-2: -A hypertonic solution has increased solute, and a net movement of water outside causing the cell to shrink. A hypotonic solution has decreased solute concentration, and a net movement of water inside the cell, causing swelling or breakage.

Detailed explanation-3: -If a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, there will be a net flow of water out of the cell, and the cell will lose volume. A solution will be hypertonic to a cell if its solute concentration is higher than that inside the cell, and the solutes cannot cross the membrane.

Detailed explanation-4: -Solutions that contain the same concentration of water and solutes as the cell cytoplasm are called isotonic solutions. Cells placed in an isotonic solution will neither shrink nor swell since there is no net gain or loss of water.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hypertonic solution-A hypertonic solution has a higher concentration of dissolved particles than the other solution. When a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution it loses water and shrinks.
