After re-reading your post I've noticed a few things, through osmosis (the net diffusion of water from a high concentration to a low concentration across a membrane, down a gradient) a cell does not nessicarly burst/excrete all liquids, this is a severe case and generally does not happen via a semi-permeable membrane, the goal of osmosis is to make an even distribution of concentration, so you might want to look over the whole topic again. Lysis is when the cell bursts/shrinks, osmosis is when the concentration changes but the cell remains intact and can function. Do not think they are the same.

Also - there are two types of "lyse"; Cytolysis and Plasmolysis,
Cytolysis is when the cell has a lower salt concentration than that of the outside environment (hypotonic) so salt floods in and is not limited, this is also known as excessive osmosis, and the cell bursts because of the cell membrane not being able to expand (unlike a cell wall in plants)

Plasmolysis is when the cell has a higher salt concentration than that of the outside environment (hypertonic) and salt rushes out of the sell and is not limited, again excessive osmosis, and the cell shrinks and will eventually die is the cell membrane does not stop the flow of water/salt out of the cell.


As for the question; The lipid part of the membrane is what controls the movement of ions or polar compounds across the membrane. The protein layer allows for non-polar compounds to cross (generally larger molecules).
For the cell to Plasmolyse, which is what happens in the hypertonic solution you are talking about, and small particles would have to leave the cell for this lysis to occur. This could work in theory and somewhat in reality but honestly osmosis would be initiated if the concentration of salt was greater inside the cell, so you would have to put loads of water and salt into the cell, or remove all salt/water from the outside environment so the salt from inside the cell will diffuse across the cell membrane into the outside environment and only if plasmolysis occurs will the cell actually lyse/die.

I hope that made sense, but remeber, in science there is always outliers and variance.

Pro tip; Ask your teacher, they are there to help, even if it's an assignment.
