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 the equal solute concentration inside and outside of the cell so water moves at equal rates?

Isotonic.


When will the net osmosis rate equal zero in a model cell?

The net osmosis rate will equal zero when the concentration of solutes inside the cell is the same as the concentration of solutes in the surrounding solution. At this point, there will be no concentration gradient driving osmosis in either direction, resulting in no net movement of water across the cell membrane.


What kind of environments causes water to enter or leave the cell?

Water Movement across a cell membrane is called Osmosis. And it is dependent on the concentration of ions on each side of the cell membrane. If the concentration is higher on the inside of the cell water rushes in to dilute the ion concentration and get it to equal the outside concentration of ions and this is called hypotonic. If the concentration is higher outside the cell water will rush out of the cell to help dilute the concentration outside the cell and get the two concentrations to become equal and is called hypertonic. If the concentration is equal in both outside and inside the cell there will be no water movement and is called isotonic. Osmosis


What concentration of solutes is equal the concentration of solutes inside the cell?

when a concentration of something, usually water, is the same inside and outside a cell, it is called an isotonic solution. When there is more inside the cell or membrane, but less outside, the solution is hypotonic. when there is more on the outside , it is known as hypertonic. however, it depends what you are describing


What best describes a cell that is isotonic for a substance?

The solute concentration is equal on both sides of the cell membrane

When materials pass into and out of a cell at equal rates there is no net change in concentration inside the cell?

When materials pass into and out of a cell at equal rates, it means there is an equilibrium in concentration inside and outside the cell. This equilibrium prevents a net change in concentration inside the cell, maintaining stability in the cell's internal environment.

Why do diffusion and osmosis happen?

they make the concentration of the solute equal inside and outside of the molecule.


Do molecules must always diffuse into a cell?

not if the concentration is equal inside and outside of the cell


What is a solution that produces no change in a cell called?

A solution that produces no change in a cell is called an isotonic solution. In an isotonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is equal to the concentration of solutes inside the cell, resulting in no net movement of water. This balance maintains cell shape and function without causing swelling or shrinking.


What is the tonicity of a bacterial cell?

Isotonic conditions will not change the cell in bacterial or an human cell. Because the water concentration in the cell equal.Hypotonic conditions will increase the solute in the cell because of the osmotic pressure inside the cell. Cell may burst if to much solute is inside the cell. Bacterial and human cell.Hypertonic conditions is said to have osmotic pressure. Because the concentration in the environment has an higher concentration than inside the cell so all the solute will drive out of the cell and cause it to dry out.


Which term refers to the condition that exist when no net change in concentration results from diffusion A. concentration B. equilibrium C. osmosis D. Randomness?

B. Equilibrium - when equal particles continue to move in both directions there is no further net change in the concentration on either side
