    Water molecules will move out of the cell

    Explanation:

    We are given that the concentration of a sugar solution is lower outside the cell than inside the cell. This means that a concentration gradient of water now exists across the membrane.

    In Osmosis, we know that water molecules move from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one.

    So in this case, water molecules will move out of the cell.

    The hypertonic solution has a lower water concentration than the hypotonic solution, so a concentration gradient of water now exists across the membrane ... On the other extreme, a red blood cell that is hypotonic (lower concentration outside the cell) will result in more water flowing into the cell than out.
