Identify the solute concentration inside and outside the cell. The image shows a cell with 0.1% solute concentration inside and 10% solute concentration outside.
Understand the concept of osmosis: water moves from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration to achieve equilibrium.
Compare the solute concentrations: the inside of the cell has a lower solute concentration (0.1%) compared to the outside (10%).
Predict the direction of water flow: since water moves from areas of low solute concentration to high solute concentration, it will flow from inside the cell to outside.
Conclude that the water will flow from inside the cell to outside, as the external environment is hypertonic compared to the internal environment.
