⏩ 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 cell wall and the membrane and making the plant cell shrink and crumple.
⏩ The greatest concentration of water is outside the cell. Therefore, water enters the cell and fills the central vacuole, causing the contents of the plant cell to press against the cell wall.
