nothing
it will shrink because water will move out of the cell
it will swell because water will move into the cell
rewatch

Explanation:

To determine what happens to the cell, we analyze osmosis. If the external environment has a lower solute concentration (more water) than the cell's interior, water moves into the cell (causing swelling). If external has higher solute (less water), water moves out (shrinking). The diagram (implied by the context, likely a hypotonic or hypertonic scenario) – if the cell is in a solution with less solute (more water outside), water enters, making it swell. The option "it will swell because water will move into the cell" is correct as osmosis (water movement from high to low water potential) causes this when external is hypotonic.

Answer:

it will swell because water will move into the cell
