Cell Salts What Happens To The Cell Membrane And Wall In A Salt Water Solution And Tap Water Solution?

What happens to the cell membrane and wall in a salt water solution and tap water solution? - cell salts

KK So, if I have a plant cell in a solution of salt and a plant cell in a solution of tap water, what would happen to the cell membrane? Particles of salt? and the shape of cells? Furthermore, as this effect, the cytoplasm?

in water, water molecules move into the cell by osmosis due to the high concentration of solute in the cell. This will increase the volume of the cytoplasm to the cell membrane lysis was not prevented as a cell wall, but the cell is turgid, so that the wall of the cell is not broken, but a little twist.
in salt water, water molecules move from the cell by osmosis due to the high concentration of salt outside the cell. Decrease the volume of the cytoplasm, cell wall in maintaining cell shape, but the cell membrane are "shrunk", still connected to the cell wall, but. hmmmm
