1.As the leaves are die, therefore the cell present in the leaves are die. when they placed in the hypertonic solution, nothing will happen, the liquid will not pass through as cell membrane is dead. Thus cell losses permeability as they are dead.
2.Any solution of sodium chloride (NaCl) in water with a concentration of NaCl higher than that found in physiological saline (0.9% w/v).
3.Hypertonic solutions are ones that have a higher solute concentration than that of the cell. Hypertonic solutions cause cells to shrivel and shrink in size, which can cause problems and inhibit proper cell functioning.
