IF you dilute an animal cell it will swell (plant cells [with cell walls] are immune).
In high solute concentrations water will flow out of the cell. In low solute concentrations water will flow into the cell.
Increasing the concentration of a solute the freezing point depression is increased.
There are three types of solute concentrations, Isotonic, Hypotonic and Hypertonic. The prefix refers to how much solute is in the solution as compared to the inside of the cell. In Isotonic, the cell and solution have the same concentration of solute, so the cell stays the same size. In Hypertonic, the cell has less solute than the solution, and therefore gives water to to balance out and shrivels. In Hypotonic, the cell has more solute than the solution, and accepts water from the solution, thereby swelling, which is potentially beneficial in plant cells but can destroy animal cells. I hope this answers your questions. Isotonic is the best for animals, hypotonic is the best for plants.
If the solute concentration outside the Paramecium became equal to that inside, the environment would be isotonic. In this state, there would be no net movement of water into or out of the Paramecium, which would help maintain its shape and internal balance. However, the organism would still require mechanisms to manage waste and nutrient exchange, as diffusion would be minimal in an isotonic environment. Overall, the Paramecium would remain stable but might face challenges in maintaining metabolic processes effectively.

Water will move from the container with lower solute concentration to the container with higher solute concentration. This will continue until the solute concentrations in the two containers are equivalent.
Isotonic.

The presence of ethanol can affect crystal growth depending on its concentration. At low concentrations, ethanol can act as a solvent to help dissolve the solute and promote crystal growth. However, at higher concentrations, ethanol can inhibit crystal growth by disrupting the crystal lattice and slowing down the process.
the concentration of solutes is the same every where
A dilute solution.
The activity of the contractile vacoule would decrease. While in the hypotonic solution, water was moving into the paramecium because it had a higher solute concentration that the solution that it was in and water follows solute. So, the isotonic solution would contain the same solute concentration as the paramecium so there would be no net water movement. Therefore, the contractile vacoule would decrease in its activity because there would be no water entering or exiting the paramecium.
A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at a given temperature. If a solution is saturated, adding more solute will not dissolve into the solution without changing the temperature.
When two containers have different solute concentrations after osmosis, it means that water molecules have moved across the semi-permeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration. This results in the dilution of the more concentrated solution and the concentration of the less concentrated solution.
