In this situation there will be endo-osmosis. The water molecules will diffuse from outside to inside cell.
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.
If is Hypotonic, that the water will go inside the cell. If is Hypertonic, That the water will go outside the cell.
Osmosis.
The inside of a cell and the outside of the cell are usually in equilibrium as far as salt is concerned. Water always follows salt.If the outside has more salt, then water will follow it outwards. The cell will lose water and become shriveled.

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.

In simple terms: Osmosis is when water moves from a place with lots of water through a tissue wall to an area where there is less water. For example, if a cell is placed in water, because there is more water outside the cell than inside, the water molecules will start to move from outside the cell, through the cell wall and into the cell, causing it to swell, until the amount of water inside the cell is the same as outside.
If is Hypotonic, that the water will go inside the cell. If is Hypertonic, That the water will go outside the cell.

Water will move out of the cell. Glucose will not move into the cell without the help of a helper molecule. Glucose molecules will diffuse into the cell.(APEX)
If the concentration of solute is greater inside than outside the cell then the cell then water will rush into the cell to bind to the solute and the cell will swell. A hypotonic condition.
Tonicity refers to the relative concentration of solute particles inside a cell, with respect to the concentration outside the cell. Osmolarity refers to the movement of water from the inside to the outside of a cell, and vice versa
The water inside the cell was less salty and therefore had more water than the outside. Water then leave the cells and they will become 'wrinkled' looking or wilted.
