A high level of salt in a cell would cause water molecules to move passively into the cell.
Small, non-polar molecules like oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water can passively diffuse through cell membranes and be absorbed into the blood. Lipid-soluble molecules and small uncharged molecules can also passively cross cell membranes to enter the bloodstream.

Molecules can enter a cell passively through processes like simple diffusion or facilitated diffusion. For this to occur, the molecule must be small, nonpolar, and/or able to pass through ion channels or carrier proteins. Additionally, there must be a concentration gradient across the cell membrane to drive the movement of molecules into the cell.
Facilitated diffusion moves molecules through cell membranes passively.
Cytosol is the mixture of water and other molecules found inside the cell.
Glucose is too big to pass throught.
Diffusion keeps the amounts of molecules inside and outside the cell in balance, or in a state of homeostasis.
