After being placed in a 15% salt solution for two minutes, the cell will likely appear shriveled or crenated. This occurs due to osmosis, where water moves out of the cell to balance the solute concentration outside, causing the cell to lose water and shrink. The best diagram to represent this would show a smaller, distorted cell compared to its normal shape.
