Does isotonic soultion cause a cell to shrink?
No. An isotonic solution would not cause a cell to shrink, because the concentration of water in the solution and inside the cell is the same. A hypertonic solution would cause a cell to shrink.
Does isotonic mean a fluid containing salt and minerals?
If you meant an isotonic solution, an isotonic solution is a solution which contains the same concentration of solutes as the cell it is being compared to. This creates dynamic equilibrium, as the amount of solutes entering the cell and leaving the cell is the same.
In an isotonic solution what happens to the shape of the cell?
it stays the same
Will a cell placed in an isotonic solution grow shrink or remain the same?
it will remain the same
What will happened to cells when it is exposed in isotonic solution?
there won't be any change in the size of the cell because the water crosses the cell membrane in both directions,but the amount of water going is the same as the amount of water going out
What type of solution doesnt change the shape of a cell?
Isotonic does not change the shape of a cell membrane
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.
What do cells do in a isotonic solution?
Usually this question is in reference to a RBCs (red blood cells). When there is the same amount of water molecules on the outside of the cell as the inside of the cell, so there is no change in the shape of the cell.
What happens to a red blood cell when exposed to isotonic solutions?
If a red blood cell is placed in an isotonic solution then nothing should happen physically because an isotonic solution is one that has the same solute concentration as the red blood cell itself.
What part of a cell keeps a cell together?
i had the same question but im pretty sure its the mitochondria
Does isotonic soultion cause a cell to shrink?
No. An isotonic solution would not cause a cell to shrink, because the concentration of water in the solution and inside the cell is the same. A hypertonic solution would cause a cell to shrink.
When matter change state it keeps the same?
tempature

What happens when the concentration of dissolved substances is in the same in both the cell and the solution in which it is placed?
Isotonic solution
In an isotonic solution what happens to the shape of the cell?
it stays the same
If a cell is placed in what solution the concentration of dissolved substances will be the same in both the cell and the solution in which it is placed?
Hypotonic :) good luck on plato :D
Why does a cell stay the same size in an isotonic solution?
There is no net movement of water molecules in and out of the cell.
