A cell is moved from its normal environment in a freshwater river and is suddenly placed into the ocean. What would be the effect of this change in environment on the cell? O 1) It would shrivel because it would lose water. O 2) It would shrivel because it is responding to a hypotonic environment. O 3) It would swell because it is experiencing a hypertonic environment. O 4) It would swell because it would gain water. O 5) Nothing would happen to the cell.
