Could Elodea or Paramecium from a freshwater lake be expected to survive if transplanted into the ocean?

Elodea could struggle to survive in the ocean due to differences in salinity levels compared to freshwater lakes. Paramecium might have a better chance of survival as they are more adaptable to varying environmental conditions, but they would still face challenges adapting to the different nutrient availability and predators in the ocean.


Suppose the paramecium were placed in a container of sea water what would you observe?

Usually, the paramecium used in a study like this are freshwater. Because the water inside the paramecium has a lower salt concentration, it moves out and shrivels the paramecium up, drying it out.


What evidence in the data indicates that didinium could be a predator of the paramecium?

A decrease in paramecium population coinciding with an increase in didinium population would suggest predation. Observing didinium actively hunting and consuming paramecium under a microscope would also support the predator-prey relationship. Additionally, if the presence of didinium leads to a decrease in paramecium activity or alters their behavior in a defensive manner, this could indicate predation.


Where could I find paramecium Euglena and Amoeba?

It should be fairly easy to find paramecia in freshwater ponds, and basically any other mass of fresh water, especialy those with lots of water plants in them, Euglena is just the group of protists they are in. You can find amoebas in exactly the same kind of places, but the amoeba is slightly more sensitive to pollution, so you are less likely to find it in polluted areas.


What structure could you see in the Elodea cells?

In Elodea cells, you could see structures such as the cell wall, cell membrane, chloroplasts (containing chlorophyll for photosynthesis), and a central vacuole. These structures are typical of plant cells and contribute to their function in photosynthesis and support.

How Parameciun could survive in freshwater which is hypotonic?

paramecium has an organelle called the contractile vacuole,since it is hypertonic water rushes in from its habitat but this vacuole excretes the water constantly so that the cell do not burst.


Could elodea or paramecium from a fresh water lake be expected to survive if transported into the ocean?

This is unlikely, as osmosis would result in water's flowing out of the cells, upsetting the normal balances in the cytoplasm. The elodia cells become plasmolysed. Cells can sometimes be rehydrated in fresh water if they are not left too long, but they would be severely compromised if left in the salt water.

Could the platypus survive in another environment?

It would depend on the nature of the environment. Platypuses are specially adapted to live in freshwater creeks and rivers within bushland or rainforest. As long as they had access to clear, freshwater rivers and creeks where they could feed and dig their burrows, and some tree shelter overhead, they could (arguably) survive.


Suppose there were singled-celed protozoans in the test tube with Elodea when you the white light experiment. Could you still calculate Elodea's rate of photosynthesis?

Yes, you could still calculate Elodea's rate of photosynthesis by measuring the change in dissolved oxygen in the water over time. The presence of single-celled protozoans would not significantly affect the ability to measure the rate of oxygen production by the Elodea.

Is there sharks around the lake?

You will not find the usual sharks in Lake Tahoe. However, there could be bull sharks in there because they can survive in fresh water, and they have been known to attack.


What is the hypothesis of osmosis lab elodea leaf?

The hypothesis of an osmosis lab with an Elodea leaf could be that the Elodea leaf will lose water and shrink when placed in a hypertonic solution due to water moving out of the leaf cells by osmosis, causing the cells to become flaccid. Conversely, if the Elodea leaf is placed in a hypotonic solution, it may gain water, swell, and become turgid as water moves into the leaf cells via osmosis.


Do sharks live in saltwater or freshwater?

Because corals are marine animals, just like scallops, lobsters and swordfish. It isn't just a "preference". It is where they are designed to live. They could not survive in fresh water any more than a fresh water bass could survive in the ocean.


Do carps live in freshwater or saltwater?

umm........ I believe that there in both saltwater and fresh water. when i go fishing i catch some carps they mostly go for mussels for saltwater and for freash i think some dough bait. They live in freshwater naturally, but could probably survive in salt water.
