Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Water will move from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration in order to achieve an equilibrium. In this case, since the concentration of solutes is greater inside the cell, water will move from an area of low solute concentration (outside the cell) to an area of high solute concentration (inside the cell), resulting in water moving into the cell.
