Due to osmosis water will flow to where there is a higher concentration of solvent and the solvent will flow to where there is less concentration (if it can). So, if you put it in salt water, the water will flow out of the cell because it will dilute the extra solvent (salt) outside the cell. And if you put it in fresh water, water will rush in because there is more solvent in the cell.
