The concentration of the water determines the rate of diffusion. A higher concentration of water will be transported to an area with a lower concentration, via the concentration gradient. In a high salt solution, the concentration of the water is higher in the cell, and so the water is diffused through the cells semi-permeable membrane into the high salt solution, to try to stabilise the concentration differential.
In a high salt solution, the cell will release water due to osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of high water concentration (inside the cell) to an area of low water concentration (outside the cell) through a semi-permeable membrane, in this case, to balance out the high salt concentration outside the cell.
In a solution with high water potential, water will move into the animal cell via osmosis to equalize the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell. This can cause the cell to swell and potentially burst if the influx of water is too rapid or excessive.
An Animal Cell in hypertonic solution will look shriveled due to osmotic effects on the cell. the hypertonic solution means there is more water potential outside of the cell, water moves from a low water potential to a high water potential. Therefore the water diffuses out of the cell decreasing the volume bringing the cell membrane in making it look shriveled up.
A high solute solution would create a hypertonic environment for bacteria, causing water to leave their cells through osmosis. This loss of water would lead to dehydration and ultimately cell death in the bacteria.
water moves from a high concentration to a low concentration in a cell
A hypertonic solution high in salts or sugars will typically lyse protoplasts by causing water to leave the cell through osmosis, leading to cell burst.
When placed in a hypertonic solution, an animal cell will lose water due to the higher concentration of solutes outside the cell. This causes the cell to shrink and may lead to dehydration and potential cell damage.
In a solution with high water potential, water will move into the animal cell via osmosis to equalize the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell. This can cause the cell to swell and potentially burst if the influx of water is too rapid or excessive.
A hypertonic solution, where the solute concentration is higher outside the cell than inside, will cause a cell to lose water. Water molecules will move out of the cell to try to equalize the concentrations, leading to dehydration and shrinking of the cell.

If a blood cell is put into a high sodium solution it will become crenated (shrivel up). Water will flow out of the cell into the solution. If it is put in a low sodium solution it will absorb water/expand outward. If the sodium concentration of the blood cell and outside environment are the same, nothing will happen.
It shrinks as water moves out of the cell.

water moves from a high concentration to a low concentration in a cell
A hypotonic solution, with a lower solute concentration compared to the inside of the cell, causes water to move into the cell via osmosis. This influx of water makes the cell swell and potentially burst if the osmotic pressure becomes too high.
A hypertonic solution high in salts or sugars will typically lyse protoplasts by causing water to leave the cell through osmosis, leading to cell burst.
water will move from a high H2O concentration inside the cell, to a low H2O concentration outside the cell.
If a cell is placed in a high salt solution, water will move out of the cell through osmosis, causing the cell to shrink and potentially die. This is because the concentration of salt outside the cell is higher than inside, creating a hypertonic environment.
