In an isotonic environment would there be an equal movement of water across the cell membrane?

There would be no net movement of water across the membrane because the amount of solute inside and outside of the membrane is equal.

What would happen if you put a cell in an isotonic environment?
There would be no net movement of water/solutes.This means that movement across the membrane can occur, but the same amount will move inside as out (and vice versa).
The movement of water across a membrane is trem?
The movement of water across a membrane is called osmosis.
What movement do ion channels aid?
the movement of ions across a cell membrane.
What membrane components allow movement of non-polar substances across membrane?
Integral proteins allow movement of non-polar substances across membranes.
What is the movement across a membrane with the help of ATP?

When molecules are moving back and forth across the membrane will they ever stop moving?
Yes, in an isotonic solution the movement of molecules across the membrane will stop.
What is istotonic?
We generally use the term "tonic" when referring to the effects of osmosis across a real biological membrane. Osmosis is the movement of water across a membrane. We usually have osmosis when the concentration of solutes on each side of the membrane are different so water diffuses from the side with lower solute concentration to the side with higher concentration and this usually continues until we have equilibrium and no more water diffuses across. This environment is called an isotonic environment. ("iso" is Greek for similar or equal)
The movement of water across a membrane is trem?
The movement of water across a membrane is called osmosis.
If the inside and outside of a cell are both isotonic does water still move across the cell membrane?
no
What movement do ion channels aid?
the movement of ions across a cell membrane.
In osmosis which membrane provides net movement of water without movement of NaCl?
Osmosis across a selectively permeable membrane allows water across but disallows other particles across the membrane.
What is the transport of water across the cell membrane called?
Movement of water across a membrane is called OSMOSIS.
What membrane components allow movement of non-polar substances across membrane?
Integral proteins allow movement of non-polar substances across membranes.
What is the movement of water across a membrane?
Active transport
What is the movement of water across the membrane cell?
osmosis
What is movement of water across a membrane known as?
Osmosis.
