Nothing. There is no difference between concentration's gradient and so no net flow of water from cytosol [liquid part of cytoplasm] to the solution in which cell is immersed occurs.

If an animal cell shrinks it was probably placed in a . hypotonic solution hypertonic solution isotonic solution?
"hypertonic"
What happent to a plant cell when placed in isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic solutions?
When placed in an isotonic solution nothin will happen to the cell, but when placed in a hypotonic solution the cell will implode (not explode, thus the water will push the cell on itself until implosion occurs.) Last but not least a hypertonic solution will cause the cell to explode by too much water entering the cell because there is already more water in the cell then in the solution. So the simple answer is: Isotonic solution= nothing, hypotonic solution= implosion, and hypertonic solution= explosion.
Which are isotonic?
Isotonic solution is a solution in which the concentration of solutes is essentially equal to that of cytosol of the cell placed in that solution. There is no net osmotic pressure on a membrane placed between 2 isotonic solutions.
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 happens if a cell is placed in a beaker containing isotonic solution?
well it would be that their is an equal amount of solution inside and outside the cell. it is neither hypotonic or hypertonic. it is balanced or equal.

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
If a cell is placed in a what solution the concentration of dissolved substances will be greater in the solution than in the cell?
isotonic.
What happens when a cell is placed in an isotonic solution?
Nothing. There would be no gradient between the cell and the solution.
What will happen to an animal cell that is placed in 50 percent salt solution?
It will shrink.

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 happen to onion cell epidermis if placed in hypertonic solution?
Isotonic solution is a solution which contains the same concentration as present in cell. So no osmosis will occur. Hence there will be a neutral effect.
A bag with a 2 percent solution is placed in a beaker that has a 10 percent solution is the solution in the bag hypotonic hypertonic or isotonic?
hypertonic
