Hypotonic solution has much less particles dissolved inside the solvent than there is in the cell floating in the mixture. A hypertonic solution has a greater concentration of particles dissolved in the solvent than inside the cell.

What refers to a solution with more molecules outside the cell than inside the cell?
hypertonic solution
What is a relatively low solute concentration called?
The solution would be a hypotonic solution.

hypotonic
Why does it matter if the root is in a hypertonic or hypotonic solution?
If the root is in hypotonic solution then the root will remain turgid. If placed in a hypertonic solution then the root will become flaccid over time.

I am pretty sure it is a hypertonic solution.
Is a solution outside of a cell contains a greater concentration of dissolved particles than the contents of the cell the solution is said to be what?
Hypo-osmotic, it depends on the osmolality, if the osmolality is higher inside the cell its called hypotonic.
