Maribel has a beautiful saltwater aquarium at her house. One day, a new and inexperienced salesperson at the pet store sold her a goldfish from the freshwater tank. When Maribel placed the fish in her aquarium, it was not able to survive. What type of environment would the saltwater solution be (hypertonic, isotonic, or hypotonic) to the cells of the fish? How did you say so? Why do you think freshwater fish will not survive if placed in a saltwater?
linc42:
help pleaseeeeeeeee
sealake101:
ok
linc42:
sealake101 help pleaseeee thankyouuu
sealake101:
what is hypertonic, isotonic, and hypotonic? do u know?
linc42:
the meaning of that?
linc42:
A hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solutes than another solution. In biology, a solution outside of a cell is called hypotonic if it has a lower concentration of solutes relative to the cytosol.
linc42:
Isotonic solutions contain equal concentrations of impermeable solutes on either side of the membrane and so the cell neither swells nor shrinks
sealake101:
ok is that in ur words or did u look it up?
linc42:
Hypertonic having a higher osmotic pressure than a particular fluid, typically a body fluid or intracellular fluid.
linc42:
that my word
sealake101:
ok yeah
linc42:
help please
sealake101:
ok i cant give direct answers so...
sealake101:
out of what u know about this, and what u have told me, what would make most sense in this problem?
sealake101:
y would the fish not beable to survive?
linc42:
The water enters the mouth of the fish and pass through the feathery filaments of the gills which are rich in blood. These gill filaments absorb oxygen from the water and move it into the bloodstream. In the absence of water, they are not able to respire and ultimately die within a short period of time.
sealake101:
hypertonic
sealake101:
the answer
sealake101:
hey i gtg sorry if i couldnt help much but yeah^^^ that's the answer
linc42:
no problem bro, i appreciate your effort ^_^

I'm pretty sure u would cross off answer option 2: isotonic in question 1 That leaves answer options hypertonic and hypotonic Hypertonic: A solution that contains more dissolved particles (such as salt and other electrolytes) than is found in normal cells and blood. For example, hypertonic solutions are used for soaking wounds.(google) Hypotonic: Solutions have less water like such as salt or sugar than a cell. ... Hypotonic solutions have more water than a cell. Tapwater and pure water are hypotonic. A single animal cell ( like a red blood cell) placed in a hypotonic solution will fill up with water and then burst.-"animal will die" (google) Knowing this which option do u think is correct and why hypertonic or hypotonic? Question 2 answer: A freshwater fish will in fact not survive in a saltwater tank due to the fact if you do that the fish will die.Then that freshwater fish will take too much water in it and die from it,or to be more exact the fishs cells will take too much water in and thus the fish will die in a short amount of time.
