A sea star would die if placed in freshwater because the water which is more concentrated outside of the cell, goes through osmosis to try to reach equilibrium this would cause much water to enter the cell and upset the balance of the sea star.
Whatever the organism is it will die a dreadfully painfull death.
No; clownfish are marine (saltwater) whereas fighting fish/betta's are freshwater fish. They cannot be placed into the same type of water or aquarium.
They're designed for salt water, not fresh water! Just the way they are made. You can get aquarium salt from your local pet store, but don't put any in there if you have other freshwater fish that don't need it. Or get a tropical freshwater fish like mollies instead!
If a saltwater plant were placed in a freshwater aquarium, it would likely not survive due to the differences in salinity levels. Saltwater plants are adapted to living in environments with higher salt concentrations, and placing them in freshwater would disrupt their osmotic balance and lead to dehydration and eventual death.
the marine fish would pretty much suffocate and die. so putting marine fish in fresh water is not a good idea.
They will die if left in freshwater, their cells will burst. Water follows solute
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.
Water would diffuse into the cells of the jellyfish, causing it to bloat up and possibly burst.
Explain what would happen if a piece of seaweed from the ocean was placed in a fresh water aquarium?
A marine fish placed in freshwater will likely experience stress and potential health issues due to the drastic change in salinity. The fish may struggle to regulate its internal salt levels, leading to problems with osmoregulation. In severe cases, this can result in the fish becoming weak, vulnerable to disease, and ultimately dying.
Sometime osmosis can be harmful for organism. For example when freshwater and saltwater aquarium fish placed in water of a different salinity than that they are adapted to will die quickly, and in the case of saltwater fish, dramatically.
If your water is acid, coral may be of use in buffering the acid since it is alkaline. Otherwise it could well be detrimental. Coral must be properly cleaned before being placed in a freshwater tank.
