Answer 1

Answer:

decrease in size because cell is kept in hypersonic soln

Answer 2

Answer:

The cell decreases in size due to exosmosis taking place.

Since osmosis is the movement of water from a region of higher water concentration to a region of lesser water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane, the water in the cell moves out through the cell membrane and thus the cell loses water and shrinks.
