shrink. the isotonic solution for rbc is 0.9%
water diffuses from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

A red blood cell placed in a 3 percent salt solution will normally shrivel up and die. That is because normal table salt solution containing salt more than the saltiness of our tears would cause water to come out of the RBC.
However, if the solution is weak enough, the RBC may well live.

a 3% solution is hypertonic, and has a higher solute concentration than that of the cell. The water in the cell will move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration (in the solution). This will result in the cell shrinking up (crenation) and dying.

If the cellular shrinks, the salt answer is hypertonic to the cellular. it really is because the answer's extra centred than the cellular's inner ecosystem, which forces water molecules out of the cellular to acheive equilibrium. it truly is why the cellular crenates (shrinks).

shrink, as the water in it moves out into the saltier environment.

it will shrink because water comes out.(isotonic solution)
