Question

Side A is isotonic to side B; water will move freely back and forth because the concentration is already at equilibrium (there are NO CELLS, the solute does NOT move, nothing is bursting, nothing is absorbing)

True
False

Answer 1

An isotonic solution occurs when the extracellular fluid has the same osmolarity as the cell, resulting in no net movement of water into or out of the cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

An isotonic solution occurs when the extracellular fluid has the same osmolarity as the cell. In this situation, there is no net movement of water into or out of the cell, although water will still move in and out. This is because the concentration of solutes outside the cell is equal to the concentration of solutes inside the cell, creating an equilibrium.
