A strip of beetroot is placed in distilled water for 2 hours. Which statement best explains the change in length of the beetroot cells?

- Water leaves the cells by osmosis, so the cells shrink and length decreases.
- Sugar diffuses into the cells, so the cells swell and length increases.
- Sugar diffuses out of the cells, so the cells shrink and length decreases.
