When the concentration of molecules on both sides of a semi permeable membrane are the same, there is no concentration gradient. Therefore, the system is at a state of equilibrium and the molecules remain static

When the molecules on both sides of a cell membrane are in equilibrium what will the molecules do?
If the concentration of molecules on both sides of a membrane is the same, nothing will happen to the molecules. Osmosis only occurs when there is an imbalance of the molecules across the cell membrane.
What best describes a cell that is isotonic for a substance?
The solute concentration is equal on both sides of the cell membrane
What kind of molecules can easily pass through a cell membrane?
Small, Non-polar molecules. If the molecule is polar, it sticks to both sides of the membrane, and has to go through selective routes. The easiest to get through is the Non-polar (oxygen and carbon).
What directions do molecules move if the concentration is equal on both sides of a membrane?
they should move neither way. Rather, some molecules will move either side, but the concentration will stay the same
Are membranes often perforated by proteins that extend through both sides of the membrane?
Yes - usually to transport molecules of various types either into or out of the cell.
What will molecules do when the concentration of molecules on both sides of a membrane are the same?
They will do nothing.
When the concentration of molecules on both sides of the membrane is the same the molecules will?
reach dynamic equilibrium. Answer : move across the membrane in both directions (equilibrium).

According to the rules of osmosis a system will reach a state of equilibrium when there are equal numbers of molecules on both sides of a water-permeable membrane.?

Yes - usually to transport molecules of various types either into or out of the cell.
What occurs if the solute concentration on each side of the cell membrane is isotonic?
When the concentration of molecules on both sides of the membrane is the same, the molecules will continue to move across the membrane in both directions. This is known as diffusion.
What is rbc ghost?
Membrane ghosts allow access to both sides of RBC membrane.
