Water went into the cell because the concentration of water inside the cell was lower than the concentration outside the cell.
Water went out of the cell because the concentration of water inside the cell was higher than the concentration outside the cell.
The cell membrane used energy to move water into the cell because there was not enough water inside the cell
The cell membrane used energy to move water out of the cell because there was too much water inside the cell

The correct statement that describes the movement of water when a cell swells and bursts due to osmosis is:
"Water went into the cell because the concentration of water inside the cell was lower than the concentration outside the cell."
When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution (where the concentration of solutes outside the cell is lower than inside), water moves into the cell, causing it to swell and potentially burst.
