Answer
P - Endosmosis, Q - Exosmosis
Reason — Plant cell P is placed in water, so the concentration of water molecules inside the cell is less than the surrounding, hence water molecules enter the cell causing the cell to swell up. Plant cell Q is placed in sugar solution, so the concentration of water molecules inside the cell is more than the surrounding, hence water will move out of the cell and as a result it will shrink.
