When an animal cell or a plant cell is placed in a medium, which is a water solution , the possible consequences are listed below.

1. If the water concentration of the cell�s cytoplasm is lower then that of the medium (i.e. the medium is a hypotonic solution) surrounding the cell then osmosis will result in the cell gaining water. The water molecules are free to pass across the cell membrane in both directions, but more water molecules will enter the cell than will diffuse out with the result that water enters the cell, which will then swell up and could possibly burst.

2. If the water concentration inside the cell is the same as that in the surrounding medium (i.e. the medium is a isotonic solution) there will exist a dynamic equilibrium between the number of molecules of water entering and leaving the cell and so the cell will retain its original size.

For example, the red blood cell in the blood plasma retains its shape because of the isotonic nature of the plasma.

3. If the water concentration inside the cell is higher then that of the medium (i.e. the medium is a hypertonic solution) the number of water molecules diffusing out will be more than that entering and the cell will shrink and shrivel due to osmosis.

When the solute concentration is equal on both sides of a membrane The two solutions are said to be?

An isotonic solution is defined as two solutions of equal concentrations of solutes and water separated by a semipermeable membrane to allow water to move freely in and out of a cell.

When the concentration of a substance is equal on both sides of a membrane we say its in?

1. The concentration of solute in the solution can be equal to the concentration of solute in cells. In this situation the cell is in an isotonic solution (iso = equal or the same as normal).

Is the solution whose solute concentration is the same on both sides of the membrane and therefore there is no net gain or loss of water?

When solute concentrations are the same on both sides of the cell, there is no net water movement, and the cell is said to be in an isotonic environment.

Which term describes a situation when the solute concentration is same on both sides of a semipermeable membrane?

Diffusion is when molecules or atoms move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Osmosis is when a substance crosses a semipermeable membrane in order to balance the concentrations of another substance.

What is the solution called when its concentration is the same as concentration inside the cell a hypertonic solution C hypotonic solution B isotonic solution d dilute solution?

A(n) _______ solution has the same concentration of water as the cell placed in the solution.

What is it called when molecules move across the cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration with the help of a carrier protein?
