your question- will osmosis occur when the concentration of surrounding solution is same as that of cell?

_________________________________________________________________
answer-

✯No, osmosis occurs only when there is a concentration difference in different mediums.
✯since the two mediums are having same concentration there isn't any reason that the water will move into or out of the cell.
✯ sometimes concentration difference is also known as concentration gradient.


note: if we talk about polar solute to be transfered, a carrier protein is required.
