Answer 2

If an animal cell is kept in highly concentrated sugar solution it will

a) Shrink.

Explanation:

• If a living cell was placed in a sugar solution it would cause outward osmosis to occur.
• The cell would then shrink as it lost water to the outside environment.
• Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from high to low concentration.
• Therefore the cell would lose water and it would dehydrate.
• Hypertonic solutions have less water ( and more solute such as salt or sugar ) than a cell.
• If you place an animal or a plant cell in a hypertonic solution the cell shrinks because it loses water ( water moves from a higher concentration inside the cell to a lower concentration outside ).
