When a cell is dropped into a hypertonic solution, it means that the concentration of solutes (in this case, salt) in the solution is higher than the concentration inside the cell. As a result, water molecules move out of the cell through osmosis to try to equalize the concentrations. This leads to the cell shrinking or shriveling up.
a cell is dropped into a salt water solution and shirviles up you infer that compared to the cell the type of saltwater solution is
