Detailed explanation-1: -If you water a plant with salt water, it will wilt, and will eventually die. This is due to the fact that the salt water is a hypertonic solution when compared to the plant cells, and water inside the plant cells will diffuse by osmosis out of the cells in order to reduce the concentration of the salt solution.
Detailed explanation-2: -5. 6. When plant cells are put in really salty water, water diffuses/moves out of the cell and the central vacuole shrinks. When animal cells are put in salty water, water diffuses/moves out of the cell and the cell shrivels up.
Detailed explanation-3: -The cells will shrink if placed in a solution of sugar or salt in water due to osmosis. When an animal cell and plant cell will be kept in a solution of sugar or salt in water, the cell will undergo the process of osmosis.
