If a higher concentration of salt is placed outside of the cell membrane, the water will leave the cell to bond with it. The loss of water from this movement causes plant cells to shrink and wilt.

If unprotected cells are exposed to salt, or a salt water solution where the concentration of the salt is greater than the concentration in the cellular fluid; the water in the cells will be drawn out, "shrivelling" the cell.
