You are looking at a hypertonic solution, where there is a higher amount of salt outside the cell than there is inside the cell. The water inside the cell will diffuse out, which causes the cell to shrink. This is why your fingers shrivel in the bathtub. The opposite will happen in a hypotonic solution. The cell has more salt than the outside, and the water will diffuse into the cell, causing it to swell.

How can salt content affect irrigation?
high salt content prevents plants from absorbing the water
If cells are placed in a solution with a high concentration of solute water will?
the molecules will pass from the salt solution to the cells.
What is earle's balanced salt solution?
it is the balanced salt solution with high bicarbonate ion concentration . Media containing this requires continuous CO2 supply .It maintains pH and osmotic pressure of cells . It is used with high CO2 demanding cells.
How does salt affect people's cells?
Salt attracts water because water is polar and salt has a slight charge. Since salt cannot fit through the cell membrane through diffusion, the salt will suck out all the water in one's cells. This causes dehydration and too much may cause death
What is the term that scientist use to describe the amount of salt in water?
Salinity level
How does salt affect rubber?
salt has no affect on rubber
Will turgidity carrot cells in salt water increase or decrease?
Turgidity will decrease in salt water because water in the carrot will flow out in order to try to equalize the high concentration of salt.
What is filled in a battery?
Wet Cells use Sulphuric Acid, Dry Cells use Ammonium Chloride Paste and Molten Salt Cells (a very high capacity type of battery) use Molten Salt. (I'm NOT being sarcastic on the last one!)
How are halophytes able to tolerate salty soil?
The halophytes are able to tolerate salty soil because they can concentrate salt in their root cells and the high salt concentration keeps water from diffusing out of the cells into the surrounding salty soil.
How does salt water affect the plant growth?
The higher the amount of salt in the soil outside of the plant cells causes water to move outside of the plant cells to try and equalize the all the concentration. Root cells die and, if bad enough, the plant will die. The damage that the salt water gives, makes the plant get a burnt look,often on the leaf edges first.
Why are salt crystal cells used in IR spectroscopy instead of glass or quartz cells?
Glass and quartz cells have high absorbency's of photons in the IR range, these are better for analyses in the UV/Vis region. Salt crystal cells, however, typically absorb very little IR radiation, making them optimal for IR spec.
What happens to Carrot cells in salt water?
Carrot cells in salt water shrink in size
