The water bear, when exposed to an extreme environment, will go into a state of suspended animation, where all metabolic processes cease.

What happens to a gummy bear if you keep it in water overnight?

When a gummy bear is placed in water overnight, it will absorb the water through a process called osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. As a result, the gummy bear will swell and increase in size as it absorbs the water. This is because the concentration of water inside the gummy bear is lower than the concentration of water in the surrounding water, causing water to move into the gummy bear to reach equilibrium.

What would happen if a gummy bear soaked in salt water?

If you have already soaked it in tap or distilled water, It is very large. Soaking it in salt water will cause it to shrink because there is now a high percentage of water in it, And not a lot of salt. The salt from the water gets absorbed by the bear. Now, the water percentage has decreased, So it is not as large. However, the gummi bear will never change back into its origonal form. -Claire
