Answer:

Neither the solute nor the solvent (water) will move in any direction

Step-by-step explanation:

Concentration of salt with in the cell = 2%

Concentration of salt of the solution in which the cell is placed is 2%

Since there is no change of concentration of salt with in cell and outside the cell. Hence, there will be no net movement of solute or solvent.
