C) Explain what would happen to the salmon's cells if this process did not occur?

I'm assuming you're talking about osmosis. If osmosis didn't occur, then the saltwater salmon couldn't adapt to freshwater and would suffer from a lack of water and too much salt in the cells, and the freshwater salmon would have too much water and not enough salt in it's cells. The saltwater salmon would shrivel up in freshwater, and the freshwater salmon would burst in saltwater.

Difference between saltwater and freshwater fish?

Some fish are salt tolerant and live in salt water (the sea) e.g. Tuna, Angelfish, lion fish, Ocean Trout, etc. Some fish are adapted to live in fresh water e.g. Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, Talapia, Catfish, Guppies, Mollies etc. Some fish can live in both sea water and fresh water e.g Salmon, eels etc.


How do you differentiate between fresh and salt water?

Freshwater and saltwater can be differentiated primarily by their salinity levels. Freshwater typically contains less than 1% salt, making it less salty than seawater, which has an average salinity of about 3.5%. Additionally, freshwater sources include rivers, lakes, and streams, while saltwater is found in oceans and seas. The presence of various organisms and plants adapted to these environments can also help in distinguishing between the two.
