Answer

During osmosis, solvent particles move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. When there is higher concentration of solvent particles inside the cell, most solvent particles will move out of the cell and the cell will shrink. When there is higher concentration of solvent particles outside the cell, most solvent particles will move in the cell and the cell will become turgid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Osmosis can be described as the process by which water molecules move along a concentration gradient form an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. When water molecules move out of the cell, the cell will shrink. When the water molecules move inside the cell, the cell will gown and become turgid. Osmosis is a kind of passive transport.
