Hypertonic solution

From Conservapedia - Reading time: 1 min

A hypertonic solution is a solution in which the concentration of solutes is greater than that of the cell which resides in the solution.[1] Unless the cell can compensate in some way, osmotic pressure will cause water to exit the cell, sometimes with damaging results.
