Question

what happens if you put a cell in a hypertonic solution? the cell will stay the same size. the cell will shrivel.

Explanation:

In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than inside. This causes water to move out of the cell via osmosis, leading the cell to lose water and shrivel. The option "The cell will stay the same size" is incorrect as that would occur in an isotonic solution.

Answer:

The cell will shrivel.
