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.
What are 4 water biomes?
Ocean: A vast body of saltwater that covers the majority of the Earth's surface. Lake: An inland body of freshwater surrounded by land. River: A flowing body of freshwater that moves in one direction towards a larger body of water. Wetland: An area of land that is saturated with water, such as marshes, swamps, and bogs.
When a piece of zucchini is soaked in saltwater the zucchini breaks down and loses its firmness. Which best explains what happens to the zucchini?
The process is osmosis, where water moves from an area of lower solute concentration (inside the zucchini) to an area of higher solute concentration (the saltwater solution). This results in water leaving the zucchini cells, causing them to shrink and lose their firmness.
What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
What is the tiny vessels where oxygen moves from red blood cells into the body cells?
capilaries
A salmon moves from a saltwater ocean to a freshwater river. what takes place in the salmons cells as it moves?
The cells take in salt to balance the solute concentration-apex
A salmon moves from a saltwater ocean to a freshwater river what takes place in the salmons cell as it moves?
The cells take in salt to balance the solute concentration-apex
What do the cells in a fish do when it moves from saltwater to freshwater?
the cells fill with water
How do the cells in a fish react when It moves from saltwater freshwater?
The cells gain water.
How do cells in a fish react when it moves from saltwater from freshwater?
The cells fill with water.
How do the cells in the fish react when it moves from saltwater to freshwater?
Salt controls water absorption so the cells would gain water.
A salmon moves from a saltwater ocean to freshwater river what takes place in the salmon cells as it moves?
The cells fill with water because of the movement of water by osmosis. (APEX)
Does a fish lose ions as it moves from fresh water to salt water?
Yes, as a fish moves ,from saltwater to freshwater, the concentrations of salt ions drops as freshwater enters the body via osmotic pressure.
How do the cells in the fish react when it moves from salt water to freshwater?
The cells will fill with water.
What is it called when water moves out of the skin cells of a person swimming in a freshwater pond?
When water moves out of the skin cells of a person swimming in a freshwater pond, it is called osmosis. In this process, water moves from an area of lower solute concentration (the freshwater) to an area of higher solute concentration (the cells), leading to the cells losing water. This can cause the cells to shrink and may result in dehydration if prolonged.
A salmon moves from a saltwater ocean to a freshwater river. What takes place in the salmon's cells as it moves?
The cells fill with water because of the movement of water by osmosis. (APEX)
What is it called when the salt water flows inland from the ocean?
This process is called "saltwater intrusion." It occurs when saltwater moves into and contaminates freshwater sources, typically in coastal areas where there is excessive water extraction from wells or a decrease in freshwater flow.
