Question

1. What type of cellular transport must occur in order to move water and

balance the salinity levels inside and outside the fish cells - simple
diffusion, active transport or osmosis
2. If there is a higher amount of salt in the aquarium water, what type of
solution is this in relation to the fish cells - hypotonic, hypertonic, or
isotonic?
3. With the higher amount of salt in the aquarium water as compared to
the fish cells, in what direction the water will travel across the cell
membranes of the fish - into the fish cells, out of the fish cells, into
and out of the fish cells equally

Answer 1

2. hypotonic because hyper kinda means more and the fish cells have that the water
Tonic means strong


3. Water likes to be equal aka at equilibrium(EQUILibrium) right not the water is strong her than the cells assuming this is a fish that doesn’t like salty water it will move into the fish cells
