Best Answer

Because substances move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration, the water would move either in or out of the cell. In the fresh water, there was a lower concentration inside the cell, so the water moved into the cell. In the salt water, there would be less water on the outside of the cell, so the water would move out of the cell.
