Does isotonic solution cause osmosis?
No. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane. Isotonic refers to the situation where water on both sides of the membrane has the same concentration of solvents. In this case, there are an equal number of water molecules moving across the membrane so there is not net change in the amount of water on either side. Osmosis, as a form of diffusion, occurs when there are unequal concentrations of solvents on the opposite sides of the membrane. The side with the most solutes has less water per unit volume compared to the side with fewer solutes. Water on the dilute side will move from the side where it is in greater concentration to the side where it is in lower concentration. These are known as hypertonic (more solvents, less water) and hypotonic (less solvent, more water) solutions. One last thing, any one solution is neither iso-, hyper-, or hypotonic. These are relative terms so there need to be two solutions to compare.
