What do you think will happen if you put the paramecium in each solution? Give a hypothesis for each solution. (hypotonic, hypertonic, and isotonic)
Could elodea, a freshwater plant, survive if it was planted in the ocean (where salt concentration is higher)? Explain why or why not.
You put a plant cell that naturally likes a 10% NaCl solution, in 5% NaCl and you notice the cell shrivels. Is the solution hypotonic or hypertonic to the cell? Explain why.
You bought a blue tang, a saltwater fish, at the pet store and got an instruction manual on how to set up your fish tank. The manual instructs you to set up the tank as a freshwater tank. Once you set your tank up and the blue tang has been in the tank for a day you notice it is not doing well and it not as active as it once was. Why is it not doing well
