Answer:

It will shrink.

Explanation:

When  a solution contains more solute than the surrounding environment  where ,it  is located,it is said to be hyper tonic.Such a solution is of higher concentration,and therefore contains little water.

Syrup is an example of an hype tonic solution.Corn syrup  as an example  contains more solute in it,

Paramecium is unicellular organisms which is aquatic in habitat,therefore compare to the syrup of high solute it is hypo tonic.

Thus when placed in syrup,Paramecium loses water by osmosis,since water from the Paramecium at lower concentration would move out through the paramecium membrane ,as semipermeable membrane,into the syrup,of higher concentration

The paramecium will eventually shrink,and die,due to dehydration.

Why milk eventually goes sour.
oee [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

It is the lactic acid which makes milk taste sour. Pasteurising milk kills off harmful bacteria and greatly reduces the number of lactobacillus ensuring that milk will last up to three weeks in a fridge. Lactobacillus is a very useful bacterium as the acidic conditions it creates makes a milk protein called casein turn to curd.
