Water will move into the eggplant cells and the cells will swell.

Detailed explanation-1: -In the given scenario what will happen to the organism: salt is poured onto eggplant. Water will move out of the eggplant cells and the cells will shrink.
Detailed explanation-2: -Similarly, if there is a higher concentration of dissolved salt outside of the cell (a hypertonic environment), then H20 will diffuse “out” from the cell and the cell will dehydrate and shrink and cellular metabolism will cease.
Detailed explanation-3: -A cell place in salty solution would loose water as water will move from cell to surrounding hypertonic medium by the process of osmosis causing the cell to shrivel up.
Detailed explanation-4: -As there is more salt in a cell than outside it, the water will move through the membrane into the cell, causing it to increase in size, swelling up as the water fills the cell in its imperative to combine with the salt. Q. If a cell is placed in solution there will be no net flow of water into or out of the cell.
