What will happen to the goldfish cells if it were placed in salt water?

Answer 1

Water molecules travel from areas of high concentration to low concentration. It's called osmosis. Basically, if you were to put a goldfish in saltwater, there would be more water in its cells than in the water around it. Thus, the water in the goldfish's cells would leave and the poor thing would get dehydrated and die. The opposite happens if you put a Saltwater Fish in freshwater. There's more water molecules in the freshwater than in the cells of the saltwater fish, so more water would enter the cells of the saltwater fish. Thus, the fish's cells explode, it becomes overhydrated, and dies.

Answer 2

if you were to put a goldfish in the ocean, it cells would become very dried out because Freshwater Fish cells have a high expectation for water, and in salt water it is very concentrated and the water potential is low. the fish will die from lack of hydration.

Answer 3

The cells will ALL die off one by one then ten at a time then a hundred then a thousand and so on till theres no more live ones left

Answer 4

it will eat pickles and juggle.
