Does osmosis occur if cell is placed in a isotonic solution?
Yes it does occur. However, the rate of endosmosis (water moving inside cell) and exosmosis (water moving outside cell) would be the same, hence there would be NO NET OSMOTIC movement of water. It is...
Does osmosis occur of a cell is placed in a isotonic solution?
No. The solution is already at equilibrium, so there's no need for osmosis.
Do cells shrink in isotonic solution?
No, but in salt solution: Yes.
A cell placed in isotonic solution?
well it would be that their is an equal amount of solution inside and outside the cell. it is neither hypotonic or hypertonic. it is balanced or equal.
How do diffusion and osmosis affect cells?
All living things have certain requirements they must satisfy in order to remain alive. These include exchanging gases (usually CO2 and O2), taking in water, minerals, and food, and eliminating...
