There would be no net movement of water/solutes.

This means that movement across the membrane can occur, but the same amount will move inside as out (and vice versa).

What happen to the cell in an isotonic?

Nothing. Isotonic means that the concentration of solute is equal in both the cell and its environment. Thus, the cell does not change in mass or volume


What will happen when a cell is placed in a medium with solvent-solute content equal to that of the cell?

It will then be in an isotonic/isosmotic environment, and nothing will happen to the cell.


A cell is in when solute concentrations inside and outside the cell are equal?

A cell is in __________ when solute concentrations inside and outside the cell are equal.?


Which type of environment results from an equal amount of solute and solvebt in and out of the cell?

Isotonic environment.


Why should the cells in the body be in isotonic condition at all times?

If the cells are not isotonic, they are not in equilibrium. If the cell was in a hypertonic environment, the cell would become lysed and burst. If the cell was in a hypotonic environment, the cell would be deprived of fluids and shrivel. EX: when we take baths, our cells in our fingers absorb water and get pruny. when our cells are depleted or are starting to shrivel, we crave water to replenish them.


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 happens to an isotomic cell when it is placed in a hypotomic environment?

isotonic and hypotonic


Whats a simple sentence with the word isotonic?

I've been doing isotonic exercises for many years.


What is the ideal osmotic environment for an animal cell?

The ideal osmotic environment for an animal cell is isotonic, where the concentration of solutes inside the cell is the same as outside the cell. This prevents the cell from taking in too much water (bursting) or losing too much water (shriveling).


What happens to plant cells in an isotonic solution?

In an isotonic solution, plant cells are in a state of equilibrium where the concentration of solutes inside the cell is the same as outside. This results in no net movement of water in or out of the cell, maintaining the cell's turgidity and normal function.


Does isotonic soultion cause a cell to shrink?

No. An isotonic solution would not cause a cell to shrink, because the concentration of water in the solution and inside the cell is the same. A hypertonic solution would cause a cell to shrink.


What would happen to a cell in an isotonic solution?

In an isotonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is equal to the concentration of solutes inside the cell. As a result, there is no net movement of water, and the cell maintains its normal shape and size.
