Answer:
a) Cell A is an animal cell, it has swollen up.
Cell B is a plant cell, it has shrunk.
b) Cell A is in a hypotonic solution.
Cell B is in a hypertonic solution.
c) In cell A endosmosis took place. It is the movement of the water inside the cells when the cell is placed in a hypotonic solution. This movement of water causes the cell to swell.
In cell B exosmosis took place. It is the movement of water outside the cells when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution. The cell becomes flaccid by the movement of water outside.
