What happens when a marine clam is put in fresh water?
Salt water animals (save for the few that actually can live in either salt water or fresh water) can not survive in fresh water because their cells are isotonic to the salt water, but they would be highly hypertonic to the fresh water.That is to say, the concentration of salt within the organism's cells would be equal to the concentration of salt in the salt water, but would be far higher than the concentration of salt in the fresh water, and thus osmosis would be triggered, and the cells would "lyce" (when a cell lyces, it means it bursts due to an overabundant amount of water being forced into the cell)
