If a bacterial cell is placed in a hypertonic (hyperosmotic) solution: There is no net movement of water either into or out of the cell Water moves through the plasma membrane out of the cell, causing plasmolysis The cell may undergo osmotic lysis Water moves through the plasma membrane into the cell None of the other four answers describes what happens in a hypertonic solution
