If a saltwater plant were placed in freshwater aquarium then the plant cells would burst. This is because the salt water would make the plant cell allow more water to come in.

What does Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium predict will happen to the population allele and genotype frequencies after 1 generation of random mating?
What all the ideal non-real conditions of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium predict; no evolution takes place. Mating is assortative, non-random in the real world and sexual selection is at work when assortative mating takes place, thus evolution.
What would happen to the cells of a freshwater organism if it was placed in saltwater?
The concentration of water molecules outside the cell is lower than the concentration of the water molecules inside the cell. As a result, water moves out of the cell by osmosis. When water moves out, cells shrink. Put another way, the concentration of solute (salt) is higher outside the cell than inside. More water will flow out of the cell than into the cell through the cell membrane.
Do fingers and toes wrinkle after prolonged in seawater?
because of exosmosis happen between water inside and outsude
Predict what might happen to multicellular plants if a microorganism that digests pectin was accidentally released from a laboratory?
The microorganism will stick to a cell and steal nutrients from the cell, grow larger and then to the same thing over and over to the other cells too, causing the plant to die.http://wiki.answers.com/What_would_happen_to_a_multicellular_plant_if_a_microorganism_that_digests_pectin_was_accidentally_released_from_a_laboratory#ixzz1dopS2mX7
What do you predict would happen if hydrogen bonds formed between any two nitrogenous bases in DNA?
Well, since they don't in the world as we know it (as far as I know) the laws of physics that govern hydrogen bonding would have to be different in order to allow it. This would have very far reaching and unfathomable consequences far beyond genetics; suffice it to say the universe would be so very different that there probably would be no nitrogenous bases, or DNA for that matter. So, it just can't happen since "What it it did?" implies that it wouldn't.
What will happen to a raw egg when placed in freshwater vs saltwater?
Saltwater eggs are given the name for a reason. They will live only in saltwater and will die right after you put them in fresh water.
What would happen if you fed your freshwater fish saltwater fish food?
They will die. I did it once and my fish died.
What would happen if the freshwater became extinct?
we would have to always heat up saltwater to drink water
What would happen to a marine organism that is taken out of a salt water aquarium and placed in a freshwater aquarium?
Whatever the organism is it will die a dreadfully painfull death.
What would happen to a saltwater fish and its cell if it were placed in freshwater aquarium?
The cells of saltwater fishes are hypertonis (large amount of water) while the surrounding is hypotonic. Therefore, water enters the fish cells as a result of which the cells burst out.
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.
When did My Aquarium happen?
My Aquarium happened in 2008.
What will happen if you put saltwater fish in freshwater?
it would die from not being in it's correct habitat :(
What do the word predict mean?
To predict is to say what will happen or what you think will happen.
What would happen if a fish that lives in a salt-water condition were put into Fresh water?
Freshwater is less dense than saltwater so the fish so it would internally rupture.
When did Theme Aquarium happen?
Theme Aquarium happened in 1998.
What are the specification of water for various industries?
Freshwater is mostly used for industrial purposes because saltwater was corrode some materials. And nobody wants that to happen :)
