Obviously seawater plants, but also a group of plants called Halophytes, they have adopted mechanisms that enable them to process salt and are still able to absorb the water from it. These include such plants as Mangroves

Anything and everything from large whales, to the tinniest micro algae grow in the ocean. The smallest organism that grows in the ocean is a species known as nanobes, measuring only 20 microns.

if you could be more specific I would be more than happy to better answer your question, an over all basic list would be mammals, fish, coral, plants, macro algae, micro algae, pods, and micro organisms.

Do plants like salt or sugar water?

Sugar water has some of the nutrients that is important in a plants life cycle. On the other hand, salt water, actually slowly kills the plant, therefore it has no nutrients that the plant absorbs and needs for a healthy lifestyle. But overall, tap water or filtered water are very good for a plant!


How do plants adapt to salt water?

Halophytes are plants that thrive in salt water. They can do this by salt tolerance, or salt avoidance. For example, reproducing during periods (like a rainy season) when the salt concentration is low. Or, a plant may maintain a 'normal' internal salt concentration by excreting excess salt through its leaves or by concentrating salt in leaves that later die and drop off. source: wikipedia.com (search Halophytes)


Can plants that live the ocean live in a lake?

It cannot because it's a type of plant that can only live in salt water. If it lives in the lake, it will die.


If a plant is placed in salt water what will most likely happen to the cells of the plant?

If you give plants that are adapted to living on land water that is very salty, it will reverse the osmotic potential in their roots and actually cause water to be removed from the cells of the plant and make them shrivel up, thus leading the plant to experience drought stress even if the soil is moist. A similar process is what causes cucumbers to turn into pickles when they are soaked in brine and vinegar.There are however, plants that are adapted to salty soil and saltwater. These plants have much more effective water intake systems that can overcome this reversal in osmotic potential provided that the salt concentration in the water isn't too high. Seaweed, for example, has a very high salt tolerance. Plants such as Alkali Sacaton and Russian Thistle have a somewhat lower salt tolerance than seaweed, but a higher one than your typical ornamental plant that you may have at home.


Will salt harm your plants?

yes it does because salt is of course it is too sour and it effects its stem and the roots but there are plants that are used to salt.

Why does sea water kill plants?

Normally there are more solvents in the water inside the plant. Water flows in, but salt water has lots of solvents (the salt) so the water flows back out. So eventually, plants die from dehydration. They won't die right after they move to salt water. But they will they after several days.

What do you need to grow a plan t in salt water?

It needs to be a plant that naturally grows in salt water. Other plants are not adapted to salt water and will die.


Will salt water or tap water have a greater affect on a plant's growth in two weeks?

Plants that have not edapted to growing in salt water will die if this is the only water they are given. Tap water is generally safe to grow plants in. In two weeks, if you were to water two identical plants, one with salt water, and one with tap water, the tap water plant would continue to grow, while the salt water plant would die.


How long does it take for a plant to die if you water it with salt water?

Fresh water plants cannot absorb water from salt water, and will normally die quickly in it.


What happens when you water plants with salt water?
