This depends on the concentration of the solute(s) involved. If the concentration is beyond the equilibrium point, then it is considered super-saturated and solids will form at the bottom of the flask. If it is an un-saturated solution and the flask is allowed to sit for some time, the solute(s) will sink to the bottom of the flask. Given enough energy (in the form of heat) the solute will begin to move around at a faster rate.
Wow - yet - Nothing could be Further From The Truth.
Equilibrium, or homeostasis
isotonic solution
it is in an equilibrium stage

When a cell is in a solution that has the same concentration of water and solutes, it is considered isotonic. Water still moves through the plasma membrane, but water enters and leaves the cell at an equal rate-it has reached an equilibrium, and there is no net movement of water.
If we take a example of cell then if the solution outside the cell containing less solutes as compare to inside of cell then that solution is hypotonic and if the solution outside the cell contain more solute concentration then it is hypertonic solution
Cytosol => inside volume of the cell
The cell will not loose or gain water.An isotonic solution means that the amount of solutes outside the cell is similar or equal to the amount of solutes inside the cell. Water is moving by osmosis both in and out of the cell at equal rates; the net movement of water is zero.A cell will lose water in a hypertonic solution (more solute in the surrounding environment) and gain water in a hypotonic solution (more solute in the cellular environment). Whether or not a solution is hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic is relative to the environment in the cell.
Diffusion keeps the amounts of molecules inside and outside the cell in balance, or in a state of homeostasis.
isotonic solution
A hypertonic environment with regard to the cell.
surgar will move into the cell
A condition whereby the concetration of solutes outside the cell balances/equals that inside the cell
when a concentration of something, usually water, is the same inside and outside a cell, it is called an isotonic solution. When there is more inside the cell or membrane, but less outside, the solution is hypotonic. when there is more on the outside , it is known as hypertonic. however, it depends what you are describing
It depends on where the non-permeating solutes were and what type of solution the cell is in. if non-permeating solutes were in the cell and their number was greater than the total number of solutes outside the cell, water would come into the cell and it would lyse. If there were a greater number of solutes on the outside of the cell, water would draw out of the cell and the cell would shrink. However, with time the solutes on the outside of the cell would diffuse into the cell and that could draw water with them.
Active transport allows a cell to stockpile substances in far greater concentration that they occur outside the cell.
When a cell is in a solution that has the same concentration of water and solutes, it is considered isotonic. Water still moves through the plasma membrane, but water enters and leaves the cell at an equal rate-it has reached an equilibrium, and there is no net movement of water.
Osmosis, which is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from where it is in high concentration to where it is in lower concentration. The purpose of osmosis is to equalize the concentration of solutes inside a cell and outside a cell.
Red blood cells do contain some salts and other ions inside the cell. This means that if it is placed in water (assuming that it is deionized and has no solvent in it) the cell will be hypotonic because the concentration inside the cell will be higher than it is outside the cell.
The plant cell wall helps prevent bursting. When placed in a hypotonic solution, water will enter the cell, because the concentration of solutes inside the cell is greater than outside. The cell wall helps to support the cell, and maintain rigidity.
