Detailed explanation-1: -An isotonic solution is one that has the same concentration of solutes both inside and outside the cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -If the solute concentration outside the cell is the same as inside the cell, and the solutes cannot cross the membrane, then that solution is isotonic to the cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -The overall process is known as plasmolysis. Isotonic. An isotonic solution has the same solute concentration compared to the intracellular solute concentration. When a red blood cell is placed in an isotonic solution, there will be no net movement of water.
Detailed explanation-4: -If solute concentrations are equal between the environment and the interior of the cell, there will be no net gain or loss of H20 from the cell. Such a situation is called isotonic.
Detailed explanation-5: -Concentration gradient-The movement of osmosis is affected by the concentration gradient; the lower the concentration of the solute within a solvent, the faster osmosis will occur in that solvent.
