Question

Answer 1

Isotonic to its environment

Step-by-step explanation:

Isotonic means 'the same'. A cell that is isotonic to its environment is the type of cell that doesn't lose or gain water because equal amounts go in and out of the cell. The environment extracellular fluid has the same osmolarity as the cell thus, there will be no net movement of water into or out of the cell.
