Try it yourself !
The cell will get bigger when placed in distilled water due to water moving into the cell through osmosis, causing it to swell. When transferred to 5% salt solution, the cell will shrink because water will move out of the cell to try to dilute the high salt concentration outside the cell, causing it to decrease in size.
When a cell is placed in salt water it will shrink, but will swell in carbonated water. m.c
If a freshwater bacterial cell is placed in salt water, water will leave the cell due to the higher concentration of solutes in the surrounding salt water. This process is known as plasmolysis, and it can lead to the bacterial cell shriveling up and potentially dying due to dehydration.
hi!!! if a cell is placed inside a salt solution then cell boundary going for raptured due to the water molecules comes out from cell to maintain the cons. equilibria.
The inside of a cell and the outside of the cell are usually in equilibrium as far as salt is concerned. Water always follows salt.If the outside has more salt, then water will follow it outwards. The cell will lose water and become shriveled.
it dies
If a cell is placed in salt water, water leaves the cell by osmosis.
If a cell is placed in salt water, water leaves the cell by osmosis.
The cell would lose water and the membrane would collapse.

They die because they can not live in saltwater, due to the salt.

water leaves the cell causeing the cell to shrink.
