When there is a higher concentration of water molecules outside the cell, most water molecules will move ____________ the cell and the cell will ____________.

Answer 1

During osmosis, water molecules move from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration. When there is a higher concentration of water molecules inside the cell, most water molecules will move out of the cell and the cell will swell. When there is a higher concentration of water molecules outside the cell, most water molecules will move into the cell and the cell will shrink.
