Answer:
Hypertonic solutions have less water ( and more solute such as salt or sugar ) than a 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 ).
