Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Isotonic means equally inside and outside the cell water can move out and in within not net movement.

In an isotonic environment, the relative concentrations of solute and water are equal on both sides of the membrane. There is no net water movement, so there is no change in the size of the cell
