What happens to the cell membrane in a isotonic solution, will it swell or shrivel?

Explanation: In an isotonic environment, there is no net water movement, so there is no change in the size of the cell. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, water will enter the cell, and the cell will swell.
