Diffusion
Diffusion keeps the amounts of molecules inside and outside the cell in balance, or in a state of homeostasis.

An isotonic solution refers to a solution where the concentration of solutes is the same inside and outside of a cell, leading to no net movement of water across the cell membrane. Equilibrium, on the other hand, refers to a state where there is a balance between opposing forces, resulting in a steady state with no net change. In the context of a cell, equilibrium can refer to the balance of ions or molecules inside and outside the cell.
A state of balance is when different forces or elements are in equilibrium, leading to a stable and harmonious state. This can refer to physical balance, emotional balance, or environmental balance, among others.
The thing that helps to maintain the balance of food and waste in a cell is the nucleus. This is because the nucleus controls the functions of the cell.
Osmotic balance is centric around the concentration of sodium chloride across the cell membrane. When the concentration is higher outside the cell, the cell is in a hypertonic state. When the concentration is greater within the cell, the cell is in a hypotonic state. Both hypo and hypertonic states represent osmotic imbalances within a cell. Hypertonic states cause water to rush out of the cell in an attempt to equilibrate the high sodium concentration across the membrane, causing the cell to shrink. The opposite occurs during a hypotonic state, which usually culminates in the cell swelling to a bursting point.
