What is the behavior of cells in isotonic solution?
An isotonic solution is one in which the ionic environment is similar to that of the cytoplasm. Hence, when a cell is placed in an isotonic solution, there is no net diffusion of water into or out of the cell. The cell remains intact.
Will a cell placed in an isotonic solution grow shrink or remain the same?
it will remain the same
Where are ribosomes placed?
They are in cytoplasm. In eukaryotes some are embedded in rough ER
Where is Golgi complex located in the cell?
Golgi complex are placed outside the nucleus in the cytoplasm of the cell.
What is a solution that neither shrinks nor swells a cell?
A cell placed in an isotonic solution will not shrink or swell. Isotonic means that the concentration of solutes in the solution is equal to the concentration of solutes within the cell. Since both concentrations are the same, no water flows in or out of the cell due to osmotic pressure.
What will happen when a cell is placed in a medium with solvent-solute content equal to that of the cell?
It will then be in an isotonic/isosmotic environment, and nothing will happen to the cell.

What can happen to animal cells when placed in a isotonic solution?
Nothing. There is no difference between concentration's gradient and so no net flow of water from cytosol [liquid part of cytoplasm] to the solution in which cell is immersed occurs.
Which are isotonic?
Isotonic solution is a solution in which the concentration of solutes is essentially equal to that of cytosol of the cell placed in that solution. There is no net osmotic pressure on a membrane placed between 2 isotonic solutions.
What happens to an isotomic cell when it is placed in a hypotomic environment?
isotonic and hypotonic
Will a cell placed in an isotonic solution grow shrink or remain the same?
it will remain the same
What happens when the concentration of dissolved substances is in the same in both the cell and the solution in which it is placed?
Isotonic solution
If a cell is placed in a what solution the concentration of dissolved substances will be greater in the solution than in the cell?
isotonic.
What happens when a cell is placed in an isotonic solution?
Nothing. There would be no gradient between the cell and the solution.
A cell that is 35 percent water is placed in a solution that is 35 percent water Which way will the net movement of water go?
In this scenario, the cell and the surrounding solution have the same water concentration (both are 35 percent water). This means that the system is in an isotonic state, where the concentration of water inside the cell is equal to the concentration of water outside the cell. In an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water. Water molecules will move across the cell membrane in both directions, but there is no overall change in the water concentration inside or outside the cell. The cell's volume and shape will remain relatively stable. In summary, if a cell that is 35 percent water is placed in a solution that is also 35 percent water, the net movement of water will be minimal, and the cell will generally maintain its size and shape.
If an animal cell shrinks it was probably placed in a . hypotonic solution hypertonic solution isotonic solution?
"hypertonic"
Where are ribosomes placed?
They are in cytoplasm. In eukaryotes some are embedded in rough ER
