Question

when the concentration of solutes on both sides of a
isotonic
hypertonic
hypotonic

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

An isotonic solution has equal solute concentrations on both sides of a membrane. In such a solution, cells maintain their normal shape as there is no net movement of water. A hypertonic solution has a higher solute concentration outside the cell, causing water to leave the cell (cells shrivel). A hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration outside the cell, causing water to enter the cell (cells swell/burst). The question asks for the term when solute concentrations are equal (isotonic).

Answer:

isotonic
