Answer: Water moves into and out of cells by osmosis. If a cell is in a hypertonic solution, the solution has a lower water concentration than the cell cytosol, and water moves out of the cell until both solutions are isotonic.

Answer:

Hypertonic solution

Step-by-step explanation:

A hypertonic solution is a solution with a low concentration of water. Water will move out of a cell, area of a higher concentration, to an area of lower concentration, the solution. This process is called osmosis.
