What method of molecular transport says water concentration inside a cell is higher than the water concentration outside the cell water flows out of the cell?
Osmosis.
When do Hemolysis occurs when a blood cell is placed into?
A hypotonic solution. The concentration of solute inside the cell is greater than that outside the cell and water enters the cell by osmosis. Water travels from an area of higher water concentration (outside the cell) to an area of lower water concentration (inside the cell) and the cell swells.
What is one in which the concentration of dissolved materials in the water outside the cell is lower than the concentration inside the cell?

What happens to a cell in water - does it get bigger or small?
It depends on what is in the water. If the water in the cell has the same concentration of ions as there is outside the cell, nothing will happen. This solution is said to isotonic. Iso- means the same. If the concentration is lower, then water will move into the cell and can cause it to burst. This solution is hypotonic. Hypo- means lower. And if it higher, water will leave the cell and the cell will look like prune (crenated). The solution outside is hypertonic. Hyper- means above or higher. "Water always follows salt" is a good idea to remember as water always goes to where the salt concentration is higher.
What would happen if the concentration of molecules outside the cell was lower than the inside?
the carbon dioxide will move into the cell due to the concentration of carbon dioxide outside of the cell being higher
What happens to a cell that is place in a hypertonic solution?
water will move from a high H2O concentration inside the cell, to a low H2O concentration outside the cell.
What happens when there is a higher concentration of water outside the cell than inside the cell?
Water moves into the cell by osmosis along the concentration gradient until the two gradients are equal. The result is that the volume inside the cell increases, causing the cell to swell.
What happens when the concentration of dissolved substances is greater outside the cell than inside?
Particles always move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Therefore, if the concentration of dissolved substances is greater outside the cell, they will travel into the cell until there is an equal concentration of the substance on both sides of the cell wall.
What kind of environments causes water to enter or leave the cell?
Water Movement across a cell membrane is called Osmosis. And it is dependent on the concentration of ions on each side of the cell membrane. If the concentration is higher on the inside of the cell water rushes in to dilute the ion concentration and get it to equal the outside concentration of ions and this is called hypotonic. If the concentration is higher outside the cell water will rush out of the cell to help dilute the concentration outside the cell and get the two concentrations to become equal and is called hypertonic. If the concentration is equal in both outside and inside the cell there will be no water movement and is called isotonic. Osmosis

Osmosis.
What happens when the concentration of water molecules is greater outside a cell than inside?
There will be a net movement of water out of the cell, the cell will become shrunken. Water will move from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration.

Will osmosis cause thisIf the concentration of glucose in the water outside of a cell is higher than the concentration inside?
When the concentration of the glucose in the water outside the cell is higher than the concentration inside, the water will then have a tendency to leave the cell. The process of the water leaving the cell will be by osmosis.

Are lower concentration of water molecules outside the cell normal?
yes!
