What will happen to a freshwater fish in the ocean?
Examine the image of cells. What is it that prevents the plant cell (bottom right) from bursting like the animal cell (top right).

Answer

  1. A freshwater fish would have the water pulled out of its cells in the ocean causing the cells to shrink resulting in its death.
  2. The plant cell is prevented from bursting due to the presence of a rigid cell wall that provides structural support and limits excessive expansion.
