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"


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 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.


What happens if a cell is placed in a beaker containing isotonic solution?

If a cell is placed in an isotonic solution, there will be no net movement of water across the cell membrane. The concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell will be equal, so the cell will maintain its normal shape and size as there is no osmotic pressure acting on it.


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.

What will happen to a tomato if placed in an isotonic solution?

If placed in an isotonic solution, the water concentration inside and outside the tomato cells will be the same, leading to no net movement of water. This will result in the tomato maintaining its shape and size without gaining or losing water.


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.


What will happen to human red blood cells if they are placed in the ringer solution?

If human red blood cells are placed in a Ringer solution, which is an isotonic solution, they will maintain their normal shape and structure. The osmotic balance between the solution and the cells will prevent any swelling or shrinking of the red blood cells.

What is the effect of isotonic saline solution on RBC?

Isotonic saline solution has no net effect on red blood cells (RBCs) as it has the same osmolarity as blood. This means that RBCs will neither shrink (crenate) nor swell (lyse) when placed in isotonic saline solution. The solution maintains the normal shape and function of the RBCs.


What happens to a red blood cell when placed hypotonic solution?

In isotonic solution nothing ail happen. In hypertonic solution fluid will leave the cell to dilute the external fluid, causing the cell to crenate. In Hypotonic solution fluid will move into the cell to dilute the contents of the cell, causing it to bust or haemolyse.
