I`m so confused about osmosis right now. If you place a cell in a hypertonic solute then wouldn`t the water go into the cell since they`re trying to acheive equilibrium?

No, if you put it in hypertonic, then the water from the cell will leave, trying to dilute the hypertonic solution.

Answer 2

Thank you so much. I finally understand this. :)
