Final answer:
In a hypertonic solution, cells tend to shrink or crenate due to water loss.
Explanation:
In a hypertonic solution, which has a higher solute concentration than the cell, water exits the cell. This causes the cell to shrink or crenate. For example, when a red blood cell is placed in a hypertonic solution like seawater, water leaves the cell resulting in cell shrinkage.
