Question

when hypertonic solution is kept will cell bulge or shrink

Answer 1

Heprtonic condition is achieved when water concentration is low and solute conc. is higher, so when a plant cell is kept in a hypertonic solution it will shrink as the water molecules will move outside the cell through the semipermeable membrane in order to attain equilibrium.
