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.

Does an island in the ocean have high or low speciation
valina [46]

low speciation because Speciation is how a new kind of plant or animal species is created. Speciation occurs when a group within a species separates from other members of its species and develops its own unique characteristics and also people don't live on Islands so that there wouldn't be people to plant plants and there wouldn't be animals on island because animals won't be able to survive because they have less food
