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.
Why Does osmosis occur if a cell is placed in an isotonic solution?
The water molecules are at a dynamic equilibrium, which means that equal amounts of water move into and out of the cell at the same time.
A cell with 1 percent solute concentration is placed in a beaker with a 5 percent solute concentration What will happen to this cell over time?
Water would move from the cell into the solution until an equilibrium reached.
How are the terms stress and shift used when discussing systems at equilibrium?
In equilibrium, stress means the manner in which equilibrium is altered, and shift represents which direction the equilibrium will move to compensate for the stress.
What is it called when water comes in or out of a cell?
Equilibrium

How is chemical equilibrium maintained in a cell?
chemical equilibrium maintained by the cell

When materials pass into and out a cell at equal rates there is no net change in concentration inside the cell the cell is in a state of?
The cell is in a state of equilibrium. Meaning it is in an isotonic solution and there is no net osmotic pressure on the membrane.
What is meant when a system has reach equilibrium?
when the substance can cross the cell membrane, its particles will tend to move toward the area where it is less concetrated
Did water move ino the cell or out of the cell while it was surrounded by the hypotonic solution explain why?
hypotonic means there are fewer solutes so water would flow into the cell. Hypertonic is the opposite.
Why is diffusion important in living organism?
Inside a stem of a plant, when a cell is in dynamic equilibrium with its environment, materials can move out and also into the cell at the same rate. Due to this, there is no change inside the cell involved with concentration.
What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
A cell with 1 percent solute concentration is placed in a beaker with a 5 percent solute concentration What will happen to this cell over time?
Water would move from the cell into the solution until an equilibrium reached.
What are the examples of static equilibrium of concurrent forces?
In any situation in which an object doesn't move, it is in equilibrium.
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 cell membrane helps in maintaining equilibrium while exchanging materials with environment?
how cell membrane helps in maintaining equilibrium while exchanging mateials with environment
