Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: When the cell when it is placed in salt solution, it will shrinks.
Detailed explanation-2: -For example, a solution containing 10% salt is hypertonic. When a cell is placed in a hypertonic environment, there is a net movement of water to the outside of the cell (from the higher water environment inside the cell). The cell shrinks in response.
Detailed explanation-3: -A cell with 5% solute concentration is placed in a beaker with a 1% solute concentration. The cell will gain water and expand.
Detailed explanation-4: -If a cell has a higher concentration of salt outside the cell than inside, c. Water will move out of the cell and the cell will shrink. This is because water tends to move into more concentrated solutions through osmosis.
Detailed explanation-5: -Water will move toward the area with the greatest solute concentration. For example, if you place a cell in a salty solution, the water in the cell will move out of the cell, causing the cell to shrink. A cell that is 1% salt is placed in a solution that is 3% salt.
