The bull sharks in Australia are able to survive in both salt and fresh water
What is one one celled organism?
A diatom. It is a plant that lives in fresh water and salt water.
Does cilia live in fresh or salt water?
It lives in Fresh water.
How does salt water residue differ from fresh water residue?
Fresh water is from rain or snow and is very pure and free of dissolved salts. Salt water is sea water and contains salts (mainly sodium chloride ie common salt)brought in by rivers over millions of years which cannot escape and the sea therefore gets more and more salty every year. Well fresh water evaporates and with the salt water the salt stays in the water that hasn't evaporated yet.
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.

A salt water has an advantage over other organisms because the earth is made of more salt water then it is fresh water or land. This gives it more space to live and reproduce.
What is a bull sharks niche?
It's ability to live in fresh and salt water.
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)
Can a bull shark control the amount of salt it has in it?
Yes, the only shark that can survive in salt water and fresh water.
How organisims help seeweed survive?
they need the fresh salt water to survive in the freshwater biome.
Can a saltwater plant survive in fresh water?
Not for very long. They are acclimated to the salt in the water.
Environments the saltwater crocodile would not survive in?
A saltwater crocodile would not survive in fresh water. Salt water animals need the salt to keep them alive and to nourish them.
What is the difference between freshwater brackishwater and salt water?
Both fresh water and salt water occur in nature, so both are natural. Note, however, that fish that live in fresh water generally cannot survive in salt water and fish that live in salt water generally cannot survive in fresh water.
Where do crabs live salt water or fresh water?
