Freshwater amoeba in salt water will have a higher solute content outside of the amoeba. The water in the amoeba will want to move out of the amoeba and into the environment. This will cause the amoeba to shrivel and die.

When single cell freshwater organism is transferred in salt water it will shrink. For e.x. As in case of amoeba if fresh water amoeba is kept in salt water it contractile vacuole will disappear and this phenomena is called osmoregulation.
A patato cube is placed in a beaker filled with hot salt water and another patato cube is placed in a beaker filled with cold salt water?
Because the surrounding freshwater concentration is higher than the salt concentration inside and so all the water from the vacuoles has left because of osomosis. while the marine amoeba has the surrounding salt concentration equal to the concentration inside the vacuole.
penis...
an amoeba is 0.5 mm as big as a grain of salt
There are certain types of perch that live in salt water, so in that case nothing would happen. However, if a fresh water perch was placed in salt water it would die. There are very few fish that can go between salt water and fresh water and perch is not one of them.
it would prob die because the salt water fish need salt water so yeah it would die.
It would lose salt into the water.
If a cell is placed in salt water, water leaves the cell by osmosis.
If a cell is placed in salt water, water leaves the cell by osmosis.
No, don't try it. No. The salt would disolve. And don't try it

No a potato will not get heavier if placed in salt water, and does it really matter if it does? Do not ask stupid questions. Keep it simple.
It makes salt and water!
