For cells without a cell wall (e.g. animal cell), they increase in size and eventually burst.

For cells with a cell wall (plant cell), the cell becomes turgid.

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.
