Cucumber shrink in saline solution, because the saline solution draws out the water from the cucumber causing it to shrink. -Jaralzila
Water leaves the cell, causing the cell to shrink.
The heat of cooking removes water from the meat, causing it to contract and shrink.
hypertonic solution, causing water to leave the cell and causing it to shrink and become distorted in shape.
Yes, mud can contain up to 60% water. When excess water is squeezed out, the mud can shrink because the water acts as a lubricant between the particles. As the water is removed, the particles come into closer contact, causing the mud to compact and shrink.

The onion peel will shrink and dehydrate due to osmosis. The strong sugar solution will draw the water out of the onion cells, causing them to lose water and shrink in size.
Yes, an egg will shrink in syrup because the syrup has a higher concentration of sugar than the egg, creating a higher osmotic pressure in the syrup causing water to move out of the egg into the syrup. This loss of water from the egg will cause it to shrink.
Osmosis can cause a cell to swell or shrink depending on the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell. If the concentration of solutes is higher outside the cell, water will move into the cell, causing it to swell. Conversely, if the concentration of solutes is higher inside the cell, water will move out, causing the cell to shrink.
protoplasm tends to shrink due to NaCl..causing it to dehydrate and pulling the water out of the cell..
is the amount of water on earth added to every time it rains
Undergoing dehydration or plasmolysis due to loss of water. This can occur when the cell is placed in a hypertonic environment where water is drawn out of the cell, causing the cytoplasm to shrink away from the cell wall.
