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 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 is the equal solute concentration inside and outside of the cell so water moves at equal rates?
Isotonic.
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 happens when the concentration of dissolved substances is greater outside the cell than inside?
Particles always move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Therefore, if the concentration of dissolved substances is greater outside the cell, they will travel into the cell until there is an equal concentration of the substance on both sides of the cell wall.
What is the a major difference between facilitated diffusion and active transport?
Simple diffusion moves molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration without an input of energy. Facilitated diffusion follows the same rules as regular diffusion (higher to lower concentration and no energy input), but uses protein carrier molecules to allow substances that are fat soluble to diffuse through the cell membrane.
When materials pass into and out of a cell at equal rates and there is no net change in concentration inside the cell?
Dynamic Equilibrium

Dynamic equilibrium
When materials pass into and out of 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 isotonic concentration?
Isotonic concentration is when the concentration of soletutes inside and outside of the cell are equal in concentration
A cell is in what when solute concentration inside and outside the cell are equal?
Isotonic.
A cell is in when solute concentration inside and outside the cell are equal?
Isotonic.
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 happens when there is a low water concentration outside of a cell?
The water inside the cell goes with the low concentration to reach equilibrium.
