Question

What is a hypertonic solution?

Answer 1

A solution when there is more solute molecules outside the cell which causes the water to be sucked out of the cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

This makes the cell shrink since water is being sucked out of the cell.

Answer 2

A hypertonic solution is a solution with a greater concentration of solutes compared the inside of the cell, where the movement of water will go out of the cell causing it to shrink due to the loss of water.
