Can all isolation exercises be alternated side-to-side?
I was curious to know the following.
Since plenty of Isolation exercises out there have the capacity to be alternated...hence: by having a unilateral nature such as the concentration curl, they can be performed on both sides of the body in a split fashion, my question would be (and since I can't remember right now an isolation exercise that's bilateral or "not suitable for alternation")...Are all isolation exercises "alternatable"?.
Even if the answer to the previous is NO, I pose a second question: are all alternatable exercises necessarily isolation, or is it possible to find compound ones as well.
Thanks, I hope I made myself clear and not sound confusing.

No, not all isolation exercises are alternatable, and not all alternatable exercises are isolation exercises.
Examples of non-alternatable isolation exercises: Any articulation of the spine in the sagittal plane, including sit-ups, back extensions, neck flexion and extension.
Examples of alternatable compound movements: Split squats, one legged squats, single leg leg press, single arm dumbbell bench press, single arm dumbbell overhead press.
