AnswerClick to flip back
A
None of the above will occur
💡 Explanation:
Two
or more isotonic solutions are those that have the same osmotic pressure across
a semipermeable membrane. When a cell is placed in an isotonic solution, there
will be no or equal exchange of salts between them; hence, then cells will
neither shrink nor burst and there will be no movement of salts between the cells and the surrounding solution.
So, the correct answer is 'None of the above will occur'.
