A hypertonic solution is a solution that has a high concentration of solute, in this case the solute being salt. When a red blood cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, sinc â¦ e the salt concentration is higher in the outside of the cell, the water concentration is lower there as well. Therefore, through the process of osmosis, the water diffuses from the inside of the cell to the outside of the cell. 4 people found this useful.
When placed in an hypotonic solution (distilled water) an animal cell will engore itself with the water to the point of brakage. This is because the cell itself is an isotonic â¦ (aka: has balances mineral content) and the mineraless water will become attracted to the stable solution inside the cell.ater entering a plant cell by osmosis causes the protoplast to swell and press on the cell wall. Because the cell wall is capable of only very limited expansion, a pressure builds up on it that resists the entry of further water.
