When a marine water protozoan is placed in fresh water, it experiences osmotic stress due to the difference in solute concentration. Freshwater has a lower concentration of solutes compared to the protozoan's internal environment, leading to water entering the cell through osmosis. This can cause the protozoan to swell and potentially burst, as they are not adapted to cope with such a drastic change in osmotic pressure. To survive, they would need to actively regulate their internal conditions or find a way to return to a saltier environment.

What happens when marine protozoan is transferred to a fresh water medium?
When a marine protozoan is transferred to a fresh water medium, it may experience osmotic stress due to differences in salt concentrations. This can disrupt its internal balance of water and salts, leading to potential cell damage or death. Additionally, the change in environment could impact its ability to obtain nutrients and interact with other organisms that are specific to marine habitats.
What would happen to marine protozoan if removed from its normal habitat and placed into a freshwater pool?
Loss of water through osmosis is what would occur. The protozoan would shrivel up if it did not have a way to replace freshwater in its cells.

Why or why not a marine fish is placed in a fresh water aquarium will be able to survive?
