What happens to plant cells in an isotonic solution?

In an isotonic solution, plant cells are in a state of equilibrium where the concentration of solutes inside the cell is the same as outside. This results in no net movement of water in or out of the cell, maintaining the cell's turgidity and normal function.


If a cell is dropped in any solution and the cell does not change size by either shrinking or swelling what is the solution?

What happens to a red blood cell when exposed to isotonic solutions?

When a red blood cell is exposed to an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water into or out of the cell. This means that the cell maintains its normal shape and volume, as the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell is balanced.


If cytoplasm and fluid outside the cell have the same concentration it is called?

What type of solution doesnt change the shape of a cell?

Isotonic does not change the shape of a cell membrane


What would happen to a cell in an isotonic solution?

In an isotonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is equal to the concentration of solutes inside the cell. As a result, there is no net movement of water, and the cell maintains its normal shape and size.


How does the shape of a cell change in an isotonic solution?

In an isotonic solution the shape of a cell remains unchanged. This is because the movement of water inside the cell equals the movement of water outside the cell.


Which type of environment results from an equal amount of solute and solvebt in and out of the cell?

Isotonic environment.


What is a cell in when solute concentrations inside and outside the cell are equal?

Isotonic.
