Do amoebas live in fresh water or salt water?
Like most cells, amoebae are adversely affected by excessive osmotic pressure caused by extremely saline or dilute water. Amoebae will prevent the influx of salt in saline water, resulting in a net loss of water as the cell becomes isotonic with the environment, causing the cell to shrink. Placed into fresh water, amoebae will also attempt to match the concentration of the surrounding water, causing the cell to swell and sometimes burst if the water surrounding the amoeba is too dilute.
What would happen to fresh water amoeba if placed in salty water?
It will lose its water to the salty water by osmosis, the amoeba will crenate and die due to excessive loss of water.
