What is the solution called when the cell is in equilibrium called?

A cell that is in an isotonic solution is in equilibrium with the solution. What ions and water outside of the cell is the same as the ions and water that is inside the cell. The term -iso means the same.


How does a cell each equilibrium?

Molecules tend to travel from a concentration from high to low. A cell will reach equilibrium when the concentration gradient has become equal on both sides of a cell (inner and outer membrane). A cell will reach what is called "dynamic equilibrium" when the concentration gradient of a cell is equal, but molecules still move back and forth in the same proportions.
