When a cell is dropped into a saltwater solution and shrivels up, it indicates that the solution has a higher concentration of solutes (such as salt) compared to the inside of the cell. This causes water to move out of the cell to balance the solute concentrations, resulting in the cell shrinking.
Therefore, the correct inference is that the saltwater solution is **hypertonic** compared to the cell.
Therefore, the correct inference is that the saltwater solution is **hypertonic** compared to the cell.
