Its through a process call osmosis 'the passage of a solvent through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated to a more concentrated solution until both solutions are of the same concentration'. This means that if the water is pure it will move into the cell. however if you use sugar water with a higher concentration than inside the cell water will move out. you can get the bacteria to shrink
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.
The unicellular organisms that resemble bacterial cells and are found in fresh and saltwater environments are called cyanobacteria. These organisms are photosynthetic, often forming blue-green blooms in water bodies, and play important roles in aquatic ecosystems as primary producers. They are also known for their ability to fix nitrogen from the atmosphere.
Water molecules freely diffuse across a semipermeable membrane.
Fresh water.
Fresh and salt water are very different for one key reason, fresh water doesn't contain salt and salt water obviously does. There are different flora and fauna in fresh and salt water for this reason.
The bacterial cell will undergo osmotic lysis due to the hypotonic environment created by the distilled water, causing water to enter the cell and potentially burst it. The presence of lysozyme will further damage the bacterial cell by breaking down its cell wall, making it more susceptible to lysis.
Most salt water fish will die if placed in fresh water.
it dies
it will die
Water leaves the cell, causing the cell to shrink.

it dies
because there is a difference in salinity which means less salt there is alot less in fresh water
An egg that sinks in water is fresh, while an egg that floats is not fresh.
water leaves the cell causeing the cell to shrink.
If the concentration of water inside the cell is higher, water will leave the cell. This would happen if a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution.
beacuse it needs salt.
