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 do different proteins have their amino acids in different orders
Yakvenalex [24]

Explanation:y

All the amino acids of the proteins are categorized under three groups, because side groups of each amino acids differ from others.

It should be noted that the sequence of amino acids in a protein is based on the nucleotides sequence in the gene that is encoding it. This now determines the function of the protein.
