Before a snowstorm, most cities will place salt on the roads to lower the freezing point of water and to prevent dangerous ice patches on the roads. While this is a great idea for safety, it may have some effects to the plant life around the road due to the process of osmosis.

OSMOSIS IN A PLANT CELL: Equal solute concentration inside and outside the cell, Higher concentration inside the cell, and Higher solute concentration outside the cell.

Write a scientific explanation describing what happens in the cells of the plants that are next to a salted road.
