Water moves towards a solution of greater concentration. If the solution is isotonic there will be no net movement.
the water will not have to move, the solution is already equal
By definition, water will not move in an isotonic solution. There is equal tension in and outside the cell, there is uniformity of osmotic pressure.
Water molecules [will stay (in) the same] locations, their only movement being Brownian Motion.
An isotonic solution has the same concentrations of ions on both sides of the membrane. There will be no net movement. Notice the use of the word net. There is movement but no NET movement.
The water moves but it moves in and out at the same rate.
into the cell
Isotonic solution.Common table salt when added to water is an example of a solute. For example, salt crystals (the solute) are the part of salt water (a solution) which has changed its state when added to water (the solvent).
A cell that neither gains nor loses water when it is immersed in a solution is called isotonic to its environment. Cells with a higher concentration of ions than the surrounding medium tend to expand.
A hypertonic solution is one containing more solute, a hypotonic solution contains more water, and an isotonic solution contains equal amounts of solute and water. Whether a solution is hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic can determine what happens to the cell. In a hypertonic solution, solute will diffuse into the cell down the concentration gradient. In a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell by osmosis down a water potential gradient, and in an isotonic solution nothing will happen because the concentration and water potential are the same both inside and outside the cell.
Hypertonic solution is one which has higher osmotic concentration and less solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Hypotonic solution is one that possesses lower osmotic concentration and higher solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Isotonic solution is a solution that has same concentration, osmotic as well as solvent, as that of another solution . Pure water is hypotonic but water having salt is isotonic. So,water may be either isotonic or hypotonic
Cells must be kept in an isotonic solution.Isotonic means there is an equal concentration of solute both inside and outside of the cell.A hypertonic solution means that there is more solute in the solution compared to within the cell. Water will move out of the cell to reach an isotonic state, causing the cell to shrink. That is BAD.A hypotonic solution means that there is less solute in the solution compared to within the cell. Water will more into the cell to reach an isotonic state, causing the cell to swell and possibly burst or 'lyse'. That is also bad.That's why cells must be kept in an isotonic solution.
Go SUCK A FAT ONE
An isotonic solution is one in which the ionic environment is similar to that of the cytoplasm. Hence, when a cell is placed in an isotonic solution, there is no net diffusion of water into or out of the cell. The cell remains intact.
A water solution that has the same salt concentration as the cells is said to be is isotonic.
Isotonic solution is very close to sea water in composition and also concentration. Glucose isotonic solution is an electrolyte solution used for re-hydration. It contains salt, water and glucose.

what is an isotonic solution
An isotonic one. (having the exact same water potential as the adjacent medium) (isotonic solution)
A hypertonic solution is one containing more solute, a hypotonic solution contains more water, and an isotonic solution contains equal amounts of solute and water. Whether a solution is hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic can determine what happens to the cell. In a hypertonic solution, solute will diffuse into the cell down the concentration gradient. In a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell by osmosis down a water potential gradient, and in an isotonic solution nothing will happen because the concentration and water potential are the same both inside and outside the cell.
Hypertonic solutions have more electrolytes....HYPER meaning greater/more/excessive. Hypotonic have the least electrolyes. Isotonic have the similar electroly (osmolality) as blood. Meaning if you give isotonic solutions, the fluid will saty in the vessels and not move fluids around. Hypertonic solutions will move water from the cells into the vessels (extracellualr) and hypotonic solution will move water from fluid from the vessels into the cells. Glucose is usually an iso or hypertonic solution, but there are different % of glucose in every solution. D5W is an isotonic solution.
Hypertonic solution is one which has higher osmotic concentration and less solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Hypotonic solution is one that possesses lower osmotic concentration and higher solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Isotonic solution is a solution that has same concentration, osmotic as well as solvent, as that of another solution . Pure water is hypotonic but water having salt is isotonic. So,water may be either isotonic or hypotonic
