What else can I help you with?
In an isotonic environment would there be an equal movement of water across the cell membrane?
There would be no net movement of water across the membrane because the amount of solute inside and outside of the membrane is equal.
What are the cell membrane and water both involved in?
The cell membrane and water are both involved in "Osmosis" the making of Chloroplasts.
What will happened to cells when it is exposed in isotonic solution?
In an isotonic solution, cells will maintain the same shape and size because the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell is equal, leading to no net movement of water. This prevents the cell from either shrinking or swelling due to water moving in or out.
Explain the behavior of water molecules in the isotonic solution?
Water molecules of an isotonic solution would not pass through the membrane, b/c isotonic implies that the solutions' molarity is equal. so water or other molecules do not need to pass through the membrane.
What happens when you submerge a plant cell and an animal cell in solutions with different water potential?
They both will eventually burst.
During osmosis which direction does the water move into the cell out of the cell or does it move in and put equally?
During osmosis, water moves from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration. Therefore, water will move into the cell if the cell has higher solute concentration compared to its surroundings, and out of the cell if the surroundings have higher solute concentration. Ultimately, water will move to equalize concentration on both sides of the cell membrane.

Is it true that solute sucks water?
Yes, solute can draw water through osmosis. When there is a higher concentration of solute outside a cell, water will move out of the cell in an attempt to balance the concentrations, leading to dehydration or shrinking of the cell.
A cell that is 35 percent water is placed in a solution that is 35 percent water Which way will the net movement of water go?
If the cell and the solution contain the same percentage of water, the solution is isotonic. This means that the net movement of water will not be in either direction, there will be no net movement.
The cell membrane and water are both involved in what material?
The cell membrane and water are both involved in maintaining cell homeostasis. The cell membrane regulates the movement of molecules in and out of the cell, while water helps to transport nutrients and waste products within the cell. Together, they play crucial roles in ensuring the stability and functionality of the cell.
Water molecules will no longer pass through the semipermeable membrane once equilibrium is reached true or false?
False. There will still be movement of water molecules across the membrane, but there will be no net movement. This means that the number of molecules coming into the cell will equal that going out, and equilibrium will therefore be maintained.
If the inside and outside of a cell are both isotonic does water still move across the cell membrane?
no

Water molecules of an isotonic solution would not pass through the membrane, b/c isotonic implies that the solutions' molarity is equal. so water or other molecules do not need to pass through the membrane.
What is the only substances that carries out osmosis?
Water and salt, both inside and out of the cell.
How does water move in an isotonic solution?
In an isotonic solution, water molecules move across the cell membrane in both directions at equal rates. This means that there is no net movement of water into or out of the cell, resulting in a stable cell volume.
