Answer:

C. Water leaves the cell, causing the cell to shrivel up.

Explanation:

When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution which has more solute concentration than the cytoplasm, water from the cell leaves towards the outer solution to balance the concentration.

Movement of water from the cell to the outer solution is called exosmosis. The loss of water from the cytoplasm makes the cell to shrink.

Answer:

A - G1 phase

B - G2 phase

C - S phase

D - Mitosis

E - Interphase

Explanation:

Interphase is all the parts of the cell cycle excluding mitosis, and encompasses G1, S, and G2 phases. Cells spend most of their lives in interphase

G1 is the first gap phase, where the cell is growing and making checks in preparation for mitosis. During S phase (the synthesis phase), the DNA is replicated. This is so a full copy of the DNA can be passed on to the daughter cells.

During the G2 phase, the final checks are made before the cell undergoes mitosis, which is where the cell divides.
