Could elodea or paramecium from a fresh water lake be expected to survive if transported into the ocean?

This is unlikely, as osmosis would result in water's flowing out of the cells, upsetting the normal balances in the cytoplasm. The elodia cells become plasmolysed. Cells can sometimes be rehydrated in fresh water if they are not left too long, but they would be severely compromised if left in the salt water.

What are common things between a paramecium cell and a elodea cell?
elodea cells are dirty and the paramecium cell cleans it up
Why is a paramecia considered an organism and an elodea plant cell not?
An elodea cell is part of a larger being, it cannot survive on its own, it only contains part of the thing a plant needs to live. Paramecium do live as only one cell, a fully functioning organism.
What is the main difference in cell structure between E. coli and Elodea cell?
the differences between the paramecuim cell and the elodea cell is that paramecuim- hunt for food, live by itself, single cell creature. elodea- make their onw food, cannot live alone, multicullar cells. (lots of cells)
What does an organism need to survive?
they need plants as food,gravel,water,elodea,and duckweed
Is the elodea cell a single celled organism?
Yes. An organism is anything that is alive. What constitutes alive? Something that's alive fulfills these 7 requirements: Homeostasis. This means regulating the internal environment. Does Elodea regulate itself? Yes. Organization, or being made up of one or more cells. Elodea is made of cells. Metabolism, or making cells and energy. Does Elodea do this? Yes. Growth. Does Elodea grow? Yes. Adaptation, or being able to change in response to its environment. Can Elodea change in response to its environment? Yes. It will grow towards a source of light. Response to stimuli. Yes, Elodea does respond to stimuli. As mentioned before, it will grow towards light. Reproduction, or producing new organisms. Can Elodea reproduce? Yes. Elodea fulfills all of these conditions; therefore, it is alive and therefore an organism.
Could Elodea or Paramecium from a freshwater lake be expected to survive if transplanted into the ocean?
No, certainly not due to high salt content in ocean water.
What is the difference between paramecium and elodea cells?
Elodea Is a multicellular celled organism, paramecium is a single organism Another thing is that Elodea (being multicellular) can not survive on its own while on the other hand paramecium can
What is the different between a paramecium cell and elodea cell?
paramecium cells can not survive on its own because it works as a group while on the other hand, the Elodea cells can live on their own because they are single cells.
What are the similarities and differences between and elodea cell and a paramecium cell?
the difference between an elodea cell & an paramecium cells, are that elodea cells can't survive on it's own because it is not a single celled organism and it has to work together with other elodea cells to survive. While paramecium cell on the other hand are single celled organisms and have everything that they need to live on their own

elodea cells are dirty and the paramecium cell cleans it up

Which among elodea coccus bacterium mildew and paramecium is capable of moving quickly in response to its environment?
Paramecium
Is a cell from the elodea plant an organism?
No, cells from the elodea plant are not organisms because they cannot live on their own like the paramecium.
What is the same in paramecium and elodea cells?
They are the same because they are both cells.
What is the main difference in cell structure between E. coli and Elodea cell?
the differences between the paramecuim cell and the elodea cell is that paramecuim- hunt for food, live by itself, single cell creature. elodea- make their onw food, cannot live alone, multicullar cells. (lots of cells)
What are some similarities between a paramecium cell and elodea cell?
can live in water and both are a cell
Can guppies survive off elodea?
They are omnivores so the answer is no.
