Answer:

The cell will shrink due to osmosis.

Explanation:

As in given question the salt concentration are much more inside the cell, than outside. In order to maintain equilibrium. the water inside the cell will start flowing outside in order to maintain equilibrium, causing shrinkage of cell. The ability of a cell to divide or function will reduce because of water loss. This phenomenon is seen in case of hypertonic solution. Water will start diffusing from the higher concentration to the lower concentration.

Answer:

The answer is Norepinephrine.

Explanation:

Acetylcholine (Ach) and Norepinephrine (NE) are both chemical substances (neurotransmitters) released primarily by nerve cells and they affect different parts and systems of the body. Acetylcholine mostly targets the muscles and the brain and it is a part of the parasymphatetic nervous system whereas norepinephrine targets the whole body and has an effect that leads to the contraction of muscles and the increase of the heart rate. Norepinephrine is a part of the symphatetic nervous system.

Since the symphatetic nervous system is responsible for the crucial "fight-or-flight" response of our body, it has a more dramatic effect on the muscle contraction. Norepinephrine, being a part of the symphatetic nervous system, should result in a more drastic change in contractile force.
