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.
