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).
There would be no net movement of water across the membrane because the amount of solute inside and outside of the membrane is equal.
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.
When a cell is placed in an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water into or out of the cell, as the concentration of solutes is equal inside and outside the cell. This balance maintains the cell's shape and volume, allowing it to function normally. The cell remains in a stable state, which is essential for maintaining homeostasis. Overall, isotonic conditions are ideal for most cells in the body.
The cell would be unable to maintain a stable internal environment.
A cell placed in an isotonic solution will remain the same size. This is because the concentration of solutes inside the cell is equal to the concentration of solutes outside the cell, creating a balanced environment where there is no net movement of water into or out of the cell.
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
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.?
Isotonic environment.
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.
There would be no net movement of water across the membrane because the amount of solute inside and outside of the membrane is equal.
isotonic and hypotonic
I've been doing isotonic exercises for many years.
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).
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.
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.
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.
