Due to osmosis, when the cell is in a very dilute external environment, the water in its surroundings will diffuse into the cell to reach equilibrium balancing the solutes in the cell with the dilute environment that the cell is in.

What is the force between two charge particle when medium is placed between them?

The force between two charged particles in a medium will depend on the properties of the medium, such as its dielectric constant. The force will be reduced compared to if the particles were in a vacuum, due to the screening effect of the medium on the electric field between the charges. The force will be weaker as the dielectric constant of the medium increases.

What would happen to a animal cell placed in corn syrup?

When an animal cell is placed in corn syrup, which is a hypertonic solution, water will move out of the cell to balance the concentration of solutes outside. This loss of water causes the cell to shrivel and potentially undergo plasmolysis, where the cell membrane pulls away from the cell wall. The result is that the cell may become dehydrated and impaired in its functions.
