Question

which vocabulary term describes a condition where water moves in and out of the cell equally and there is no net change in size? 1 point osmosis hypertonic hypotonic isotonic

Explanation:

• Osmosis is the general movement of water across a membrane, not the balanced state.
• Hypertonic environments cause net water outflow from cells, shrinking them.
• Hypotonic environments cause net water inflow into cells, swelling them.
• Isotonic refers to equal solute concentration inside/outside the cell, leading to equal water movement in/out with no net size change.

Answer:

Isotonic
