If a cell is placed in a large container of water with a very low solute concentration water will enter inside the cell and becomes turgid because osmosis will take place.

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution with low solute concentration is called a hypotonic solution. If a cell is placed in hypotonic solution the water molecules would move inside the cell by the process of osmosis making the cell swell and turgid. The selectively permeable membrane of the cell membrane facilitates osmosis.
