Why does water move into the amoeba living in fresh water?
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.
Why would you expect a freshwater amoeba to be more likely to have contractile vacuoles than a marine amoeba?
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.
What would happen to a cheek cell if it was placed in a petri dish full of salt water?
The cheek cell placed in salt water would undergo a process called plasmolysis, where water leaves the cell due to the hypertonic environment. This would cause the cell to shrink and become dehydrated. Ultimately, the cell may die due to the loss of water and cellular functions not being able to occur properly.
What happen in an egg when it placed in a salt solution?
The salt water egg experiment is to demonstrate that salt water is denser so the egg floats. When the egg is placed in pure water, the egg sinks because pure water is less dense than salt water.
A Cell is placed in a salt solution whose concentration is greater than cell?
When a cell is placed in salt water it will shrink, but will swell in carbonated water. m.c
What would happen to fresh water amoeba if placed in salty water?
Freshwater amoeba placed in salty water would experience water leaving their cells through osmosis, leading to dehydration, shrinkage, and eventually cell death. The high salt concentration outside the amoeba would create a hypertonic environment, causing water to flow out of the cell to try to balance the concentration difference.
What would happen if a perch is placed in salt water?
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.
What happens if a salt water fish gets placed in freash water?
it would prob die because the salt water fish need salt water so yeah it would die.
What would happen if a jellyfish was placed in a very low salt environment what would happen?
It would lose salt into the water.

If a cell is placed in salt water water leaves the cell by .?
If a cell is placed in salt water, water leaves the cell by osmosis.
Is a cell is placed in a salt water water leaves cell by?
If a cell is placed in salt water, water leaves the cell by osmosis.
What would happen if you placed a salt water fish into a fresh water tank?
No, don't try it. No. The salt would disolve. And don't try it
What would happen to a fresh water cell if placed into salt-water?
die..and its body will float on the surface
Would a potato get heavier if you place it in salt water?
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.
What would happen if freshwater bacterial cells are placed in salt water?
water leaves the cell causeing the cell to shrink.
