Net movement of water across a cell membrane occurs?
from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution.
What refers to a solution with more molecules outside the cell than inside the cell?
hypertonic solution
What is a relatively low solute concentration called?
The solution would be a hypotonic solution.
Is a 2 percent salt solution hypertonic or hypotonic to a 4 percent salt solution?
hypotonic
Why does it matter if the root is in a hypertonic or hypotonic solution?
If the root is in hypotonic solution then the root will remain turgid. If placed in a hypertonic solution then the root will become flaccid over time.
A cell is dropped into a solution and the cell swells the solution is?
hypertonic hypertonic
Net movement of water across a cell membrane occurs?

What happens when a hypotonic solution is separated from a hypertonic solution by an osmotic membrane?
They diffuse into one another until the point where they reach equilibrium. This point, however cannot be predicted from what you gave nor is it any more likely to be in favor of the hypertonic, the hypotonic, or your idea of isotonic.

Is a solution outside of a cell contains a greater concentration of dissolved particles than the contents of the cell the solution is said to be what?
Hypo-osmotic, it depends on the osmolality, if the osmolality is higher inside the cell its called hypotonic.
