What would you expect to happen to the cells of a salt water plant if they were put into fresh water?

Answer:

When plant cells are put in fresh water, water moves into the cell and fills up the central vacuole. If you put a freshwater fish in salt water it's cells would start to lose water and shrivel because the water has more salt than it's cells.
