C) Explain what would happen to the salmon's cells if this process did not occur?
I'm assuming you're talking about osmosis. If osmosis didn't occur, then the saltwater salmon couldn't adapt to freshwater and would suffer from a lack of water and too much salt in the cells, and the freshwater salmon would have too much water and not enough salt in it's cells. The saltwater salmon would shrivel up in freshwater, and the freshwater salmon would burst in saltwater.

What is the physiological differentiation of tropical freshwater and saltwater fishes?
Not sure if this is what you are looking for. But, in saltwater fishes the cells in the gills secrete salt inte the sea water, whereas, in freshwater fish the cells in the gills actively transport salts from the water into the body.
Why would a freshwater aquarium would be a dangerous habitat for saltwater fish?
The cells of the saltwater fish would gain too much water.
