The concentration of the water determines the rate of diffusion. A higher concentration of water will be transported to an area with a lower concentration, via the concentration gradient. In a high salt solution, the concentration of the water is higher in the cell, and so the water is diffused through the cells semi-permeable membrane into the high salt solution, to try to stabilise the concentration differential.
A solution that causes a cell to shrink due to a high concentration of solute in the surrounding solution is called a hypertonic solution. In this scenario, water moves out of the cell and into the surrounding solution in an attempt to balance the solute concentrations on both sides of the cell membrane. As a result, the cell loses water and shrivels or shrinks. This process is known as osmosis.
Animal cells lack rigid cell wall. When an animal cell is placed in a solution with high water potential, the wanter enters the cell as cell membrane is freely permeable to water. As a result of continuously increasing water potential inside the cell, Cell membrane bursts and the cell is said to be lysed.
An Animal Cell in hypertonic solution will look shriveled due to osmotic effects on the cell. the hypertonic solution means there is more water potential outside of the cell, water moves from a low water potential to a high water potential. Therefore the water diffuses out of the cell decreasing the volume bringing the cell membrane in making it look shriveled up.
A high solute solution, also called a hypertonic solution, would draw the water out of the bacteria cell causing it to shrivel and eventually die. This process utilizes osmosis, the water in the cell will move to where the solutes are more concentrated.

In a hypertonic solution water is most likely to move out of the cell because it is in a high concentration and the cell will shrink. They tend to give up water across the permiable cell membrane

A hypertonic solution, where the solute concentration is higher outside the cell than inside, will cause a cell to lose water. Water molecules will move out of the cell to try to equalize the concentrations, leading to dehydration and shrinking of the cell.

If a blood cell is put into a high sodium solution it will become crenated (shrivel up). Water will flow out of the cell into the solution. If it is put in a low sodium solution it will absorb water/expand outward. If the sodium concentration of the blood cell and outside environment are the same, nothing will happen.
It shrinks as water moves out of the cell.

water moves from a high concentration to a low concentration in a cell
A hypotonic solution, with a lower solute concentration compared to the inside of the cell, causes water to move into the cell via osmosis. This influx of water makes the cell swell and potentially burst if the osmotic pressure becomes too high.
A hypertonic solution high in salts or sugars will typically lyse protoplasts by causing water to leave the cell through osmosis, leading to cell burst.
water will move from a high H2O concentration inside the cell, to a low H2O concentration outside the cell.
