Question

what is hypertonic solution

Answer 1

Hypertonic is a solution with a higher concentration of solute(dissolved substance) than some other, specified solution(and which therefore has a higher osmotic pressure than the other solution). Thesolution with the lower concentration is then termedhypotonic.

Answer 2

In hypertonic solution,the amount of solute is higher inside the cell i.e,higher concentration and the lower at the outside.
So,the solute come from inside to outside and therefore cell shrinks.
