Question

If the external solution balances the osmotic pressure of cytoplasm, it is said to be isotonic.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

If the osmotic pressure outside the cytoplasm is the same as inside then it is known as an isotonic solution.

In an isotonic condition, amount of water entering the cell is the same as the amount of water going out of the cell. Hence no swelling or shrinking occurs.

So the correct answer is 'True'.
