The sugar solution is a hypertonic solution so water from the inside will exit through the cell membrane via osmosis and the cell will shrivel
Water would move from the cell into the solution until an equilibrium reached.
If a cell is placed in distilled water, it will likely absorb water and swell up due to osmosis. When transferred to a 5 percent salt solution, the cell will lose water and shrink, as the high salt concentration outside the cell will cause water to move out of the cell by osmosis. This process is known as plasmolysis.

The same cell(s) as any other mammal.

The cell and the solution will reach equilibrium when they each contain 40 percent water. This equilibrium is achieved through osmosis.
70%
60%
It has something to do with osmosis....
In this scenario, the cell and the surrounding solution have the same water concentration (both are 35 percent water). This means that the system is in an isotonic state, where the concentration of water inside the cell is equal to the concentration of water outside the cell. In an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water. Water molecules will move across the cell membrane in both directions, but there is no overall change in the water concentration inside or outside the cell. The cell's volume and shape will remain relatively stable. In summary, if a cell that is 35 percent water is placed in a solution that is also 35 percent water, the net movement of water will be minimal, and the cell will generally maintain its size and shape.
Water would exit the cell causing the cell to shrink until an equilibrium is reached.
The water content in a typical human cell is about 70-80%. This high water concentration is essential for various cellular processes such as metabolism, transport of molecules, and maintaining cell structure.
The process of osmosis would explain the net movement of water into a cell if the percent of water was 90 percent inside the cell and 95 percent outside of the cell. Damage to the cell membrane will disrupt water balance within a single celled organism.
it depends what type of cell, but usually about 70 percent
