***C*** ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹Isotonic Solution⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹When a cell is placed in a solution with the same salt concentration as its own, there is no net movement of water into or out of the cell. This is because the osmotic pressure is balanced, causing the cell to remain the same size.⚹◊What is the process responsible for the movement of water in and out of cells based on their salt concentrations?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
