When the concentration of solutes is the same inside and outside the cell, there is no net water movement.

When the concentration of solutes is higher inside the cell than outside, water moves out of the cell, causing it to shrink.

When the concentration of solutes is lower inside the cell than outside, water moves into the cell, causing it to swell.
