When placed into a solution that is 30% water and 70% salt, to a cell that has a 70% water concentration - The cell will lose its water to reach equilibrium with the environment and become flaccid.
A hypertonic solution has a higher concentration of dissolved solutes, and a lower concentration of water compared to the cell.
- In the given case the solution is a hypertonic solution to the cell as it has more solute concentration and less water concentration to the cell.
- If you place an animal or a plant cell in a hypertonic solution, the cell shrinks, because it loses water
- water moves from a higher concentration inside the cell to a lower concentration outside
- It is called osmosis or exosmosis.
Thus, When placed into a solution that is 30% water and 70% salt, to a cell that has a 70% water concentration - The cell will lose its water to reach equilibrium with the environment and become flaccid.
