Answer

Water moves from inside to outside the cell.<br /><br />In osmosis, water moves across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration (low solute concentration) to an area of low water concentration (high solute concentration). Since the question states there is a high solute concentration *outside* the cell, this means there is a lower water concentration outside compared to inside. Therefore, water will move from inside the cell (higher water concentration) to outside the cell (lower water concentration).<br />
