    A cell in an isotonic environment is in a state of equilibrium with its surroundings. When the amount of impermeable solute is the same on the inside and outside of the cell, osmotic pressure becomes equal; the force of water trying to exit and enter the cell balances out."ISO" means the same meaning that the osmotic pressure and concentration of solutes is the same in both the internal and external environments of the cell. Cells isotonic to their surrounding solutions have an equal concentration of solutes in and out of the cell membrane. This creates a dynamic equilibrium that maintains the status of the cell. No change will occur in the cell.

    Answer:When a plant cell is placed in an isotonic solution, a phenomenon called incipient plasmolysis is said to occur.

    Explanation:"Incipient" means "about to be". Although the cell is no plasmolsysed, it is not turgid.
