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.
Hypertonic Definition. HYPERTONIC solution: has higher concentration of solute than the cell, water diffuses out and the cell shrivels HYPOTONIC solution: has a lower concentration of solute than the cell causing water to diffuse into the cell. The cell will swell and could burst. ISOTONIC solution: has the same concentration of solute as the cell so water diffuses in and out evenly
