Question

If a cell is placed inside a solution that has a higher concentration of solute than on the inside of the cell, what can be said about the movement of water?

Answer 1

If a cell is placed inside a solution that has a higher concentration of solute than on the inside of the cell, so it can be  said that the movement of water will come out of the cell because it has an environment that has a higher concentration. This will help the cell and the environment to maintain equilibrium.

Answer 2

Since the cell is hypotonic compared to the solution surrounding it which is hypertonic, the water will move out of the cell in an effort to reach equilibrium between the two.
