Plant cells shrinks in hypertonic solution give reason

If a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the plant cell loses water and hence turgor pressure by plasmolysis: pressure decreases to the point where the protoplasm of the cell peels away from the cell wall, leaving gaps between the cellwall and the membrane and making the plant cell shrink and crumple.

A hypertonic solution is that in which there is less water and more solute particles than that of the cell
This the cell kept in this solution will send water to the solution from its cytoplasm, thus it shrinks , As water always flows from higher to lower level. Here the cell has higher amount of water and the cell has less amount of water (concentrate)
