Detailed explanation-1: -If we place a cell in the hypertonic solution like in sugar or salt solution, the cell will shrink. It is because the movement of water takes place from lower solute concentration to higher solute concentration i.e from inside sugar solution to attain equilibrium. It results in shrinkage of the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Predict what would happen to animal cells placed in 0.0M and 1.0M concentration solutions. 0.0M solution = the cell would swell and possibly lyse from the pressure. 1.0M solution = the cell would shrivel and become very inefficient.

Detailed explanation-3: -When a cell placed in hypertonic solution (has more solutes that cell), the cell will shrink because water moves out, firstly from the cytoplasm and then from the vacuole.

Detailed explanation-4: -In a hypertonic solution, the net movement of water will be out of the body and into the solution. A cell placed into a hypertonic solution will shrivel and die by a process known as plasmolysis.

Detailed explanation-5: -If an animal cell is placed in a solution that has a lower solute concentration, then water from the solution will move inside the cell. This causes the cell to expand and increase in size. When the cell membrane could no longer hold the excess intake of water, the cell will lyse or burst.
