Question

Why does a cell shirink when kept in a hypertonic solution ? ( biology)​

Answer 1

Explanation:

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 ).

Answer 2

Answer:

A hypertonic solution has increased solute, and a net movement of water outside causing the cell to shrink. A hypotonic solution has decreased solute concentration, and a net movement of water inside the cell, causing swelling or breakage.
