The cell will not loose or gain water.
An isotonic solution means that the amount of solutes outside the cell is similar or equal to the amount of solutes inside the cell. Water is moving by osmosis both in and out of the cell at equal rates; the net movement of water is zero.
A cell will lose water in a hypertonic solution (more solute in the surrounding environment) and gain water in a hypotonic solution (more solute in the cellular environment). Whether or not a solution is hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic is relative to the environment in the cell.
What else can I help you with?
Why does a cell plant burst in a hypo tonic solution?
A plant cell bursts in a hypotonic solution because water enters the cell through osmosis, causing it to swell. The increased water uptake in a hypotonic environment creates pressure on the cell wall, eventually leading to bursting.
If water moves into a cell and the cells swells it's called what?
When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water enters the cell through osmosis, and the cell swells.
WHAT happen if plant cell is placed n hyper tonic solution?
If a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will move out of the cell due to the higher concentration of solutes in the surrounding solution. This loss of water can cause the cell to shrink and undergo plasmolysis, which may ultimately lead to cell death.
What are the results if you put a plant cell and an animal cell in a hyper tonic solution?
The plant cell will shrink, but its cell wall will prevent it from completely collapsing. In contrast, the animal cell will shrink and may undergo crenation due to the hypertonic solution causing water to leave the cell.
What is function of hypo tonic solution?
A hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration compared to the cell. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell causing it to swell and potentially burst. This can be harmful to cells, especially red blood cells.
What is done to a cell that is placed in a hypo tonic solution?
It will probably burst.A hypo-tonic solution means that there is less dissolved solute in the solution than there is in the cell, and a greater concentration of the solution (ie water).Since there's a greater concentration of water outside the cell, osmosis will cause a net movement of water into the cell, causing it to swell and most-likely burst.

If water moves into a cell and the cells swells it's called what?

WHAT happen if plant cell is placed n hyper tonic solution?
If a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will move out of the cell due to the higher concentration of solutes in the surrounding solution. This loss of water can cause the cell to shrink and undergo plasmolysis, which may ultimately lead to cell death.
What kind of solution causes the cell to shrink?
salt water. this will cause the cell to lose it's water osmotically resulting in it becoming plasmolysedA hypertonic solution
Why does a plant cell shrink when put in hyper tonic solution?
they don't because they have a cell wall. they have what we call plasmolisis. which is when the it looses water (because of the concentration gradient)
What is the effect of the salt solution on the red blood cells in hyper tonic?
Red blood cells in a hypertonic solution will shrink. This occurs as water moves out of the red blood cell.
What are the results if you put a plant cell and an animal cell in a hyper tonic solution?
The plant cell will shrink, but its cell wall will prevent it from completely collapsing. In contrast, the animal cell will shrink and may undergo crenation due to the hypertonic solution causing water to leave the cell.
How does the shape of a cell change in an isotonic solution?
In an isotonic solution the shape of a cell remains unchanged. This is because the movement of water inside the cell equals the movement of water outside the cell.
Cells placed in a hypertonic solution will shrink or swell?
it will shrink the cell when place on hyper tonic solution, otherwise it will swell in contrary
What is function of hypo tonic solution?
A hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration compared to the cell. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell causing it to swell and potentially burst. This can be harmful to cells, especially red blood cells.
What happens to a cell when it is placed into a solution that is hypo-tonic to it?
Water moves into the cell by osmosis. If it is a plant cell, it will become fully turgid. If it is an animal cell, the cell will become larger and larger and will eventually burst.
