Question
if a cell is placed in an isotonic medium, there will be no net movement of water. true or false
Brief Explanations
In an isotonic medium, the solute concentration is equal inside and outside the cell. This means the water potential is the same on both sides. Water moves across the cell membrane by osmosis, but the rate of water moving into the cell is equal to the rate of water moving out. So, there is no net (overall) movement of water.
