What organism doesn't need high concentrations of salt to survive but can tolerate it?
Halophiles are organisms that can survive in high-salt environments but do not require high concentrations of salt to live. They have adapted to tolerate extreme salinity levels, which allows them to thrive in environments such as salt flats and saline lakes.
What happens to a salt water organism placed in fresh water?
If a salt water organism is placed in fresh water, it will experience a sudden influx of water due to the higher concentration of solutes inside its body compared to the surrounding environment. This can lead to excessive water uptake, causing the organism to swell and potentially burst. Additionally, the organism may struggle to maintain proper ion balance and could suffer from osmotic stress.
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?
Amoebas can live in both fresh water and salt water environments. They are particularly common in freshwater habitats, such as ponds, lakes, and streams, where they feed on bacteria and other microorganisms.
What is one one celled organism?
A diatom. It is a plant that lives in fresh water and salt water.
Can jellyfish survive in fresh water if they live in salt water?
No.
Can a manatee survive in fresh water and salt water?
The manatee can live in salt or fresh water. But if the manatee is in salt water too long it needs to find salt water to drink
What advantage does a salt water organism have over a fresh water or terrestrial organism?
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.
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.
What organism doesn't need high concentrations of salt to survive but can tolerate it?
Halophiles are organisms that can survive in high-salt environments but do not require high concentrations of salt to live. They have adapted to tolerate extreme salinity levels, which allows them to thrive in environments such as salt flats and saline lakes.
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.
Who will survive Drowning in salt water versus fresh water?
Generally, a person is more likely to survive drowning in fresh water compared to salt water. This is because salt water is denser than fresh water, which can make it more difficult to float and breathe. Additionally, ingesting salt water can lead to dehydration and other health complications.
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)
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.
