In isotonic solution cells reach a point called dynamic equilibrium.
An isotonic solution for human red blood cells is .85% sodium chloride. When the osmotic pressure is the same outside the cells and inside the cells, the solution is isotonic.
I have the same packet. The answer is C. It took me forever to realize that the pictures were the answers. (: you are so wrong. and its not nice of you to purposely mislead someone looking for help. hypertonic means that the cells will be crenated or shrunk. so the answer is obiviously A
A cell that neither gains nor loses water when it is immersed in a solution is called isotonic to its environment. Cells with a higher concentration of ions than the surrounding medium tend to expand.
Cells must be kept in an isotonic solution.Isotonic means there is an equal concentration of solute both inside and outside of the cell.A hypertonic solution means that there is more solute in the solution compared to within the cell. Water will move out of the cell to reach an isotonic state, causing the cell to shrink. That is BAD.A hypotonic solution means that there is less solute in the solution compared to within the cell. Water will more into the cell to reach an isotonic state, causing the cell to swell and possibly burst or 'lyse'. That is also bad.That's why cells must be kept in an isotonic solution.
Isotonic solution is a solution which contains the same concentration as present in cell. So no osmosis will occur. Hence there will be a neutral effect.

A water solution that has the same salt concentration as the cells is said to be is isotonic.

The loss of isotonic solution leads to either swelling or shrinking of cells.
No, but in salt solution: Yes.

isotonic means that the solution is neither hypotonic, nor hypertonic. Thus, it won't make water inside your cells go out, and the water from the solution won't go to inside of your cells. This means that the solution contains about the same amount of dissolved substances as cytoplasm of your cells.

isotonic
This is a solution having an osmotic pressure identical with the pressure inside the cells of the human body.
