The concentration of solute in the environment is different from the concentration inside the cell.
The concentration of solute in the environment is different from the concentration inside the cell.

The concentration of solute is greater in the environment than inside the cell.
The concentration of solute is greater in the environment than inside the cell.

The concentration of solute is greater inside the cell than in the environment.
The concentration of solute is greater inside the cell than in the environment.

The concentration of solute in the environment and the concentration inside the cell are at equilibrium.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

The concentration of solute in the environment and the concentration inside the cell are at equilibrium.

In an isotonic environment, the concentration of solutes is the same both inside and outside the cell, resulting in no net movement of water across the cell membrane.
