what will happen to a cell,if it is submerged in isotonic solution?
Answers
Answer:
The cell will neither get bursted not gets shrink as the salt level of both the isotonic solution and the cell is same.

please mark my answer as brainliest.

The external solution has the same concentration as that of the cell contents. Therefore, water concentration is equal both sides. Thus, the amount of water going inside the cell is equal to the amount of water coming out of the cell. Therefore, There is no net movement of water.

✰Osmosis:
It's the diffusion of solvent molecules or water across a semi permeable membrane from the region of higher concentration to region of lower concentration. The plasma membrane is cells functions as a semi permeable membrane.
Examples of Osmosis
- Absorption of water by plant roots.
- Absorption of water by unicellular organisms.
✰Hypotonic Solution:
Where endosmosis occurs, which means the outer environment of cell has higher concentration than cell, in this situation the solvent molecules moves from outside to inside.
✰Hypertonic Solution:
The external solution has less concentration of solvent than in cell, thus the solvent molecules from inside to outside which is known as Exosmosis.
