Zara had a birthday and was able to choose a pet. The pet that she chose was a beautiful clownfish named Bozo, a common salt water fish. Zara already has a tank with goldfish at home. Use your knowledge of diffusion & osmosis to tell Zara how to take care of Bozo.

See the answer below

Explanation:

The advice I would give  to Zara would be that she should keep Bozo in a separate tank with common salt water away from the goldfish. Bozo is a salt water fish while the goldfish can only survive in freshwater.

If Bozo is kept in a saltless water/freshwater tank with the goldfish, the water would be hypotonic to Bozo. Consequently, water will osmotically diffuse into the cells of Bozo, the cells would become turgid and lyse, and this would lead to the death of the fish.

If the goldfish is kept in the same salt water tank with Bozo, the salt water would be hypertonic to the goldfish. Consequently, water will osmotically diffuse out of the cells of the goldfish into the surrounding salt water, the cells of the goldfish would become flaccid, and this would lead to the death of the fish.

c is the correct answer hope this !

cells use diffusion to get substances in and out of themselves. that diffusion will occur across the cell membrane or the outer covering of the cell. because we are talking about the surface of the cell, surface area and volume are  important factors here. as a cell increases in size, its surface area and volume increase as well.  we call that the surface area to volume ratio (sa: vol).  but the catch is that  volume increases at a greater rate than surface  area. in other words, as a cell gets bigger, the sa: vol gets smaller. so a really small cell like bacteria is mostly cell membrane (surface) with very little contents (volume). a really big cell like an egg, is mostly insides with a super thin membrane. so what ends up happening is that the cell cannot efficiently diffuse all of the stuff it needs in/out to survive. therefore cell size is limited to about 100mm. so how do we make organisms bigger than 100mm? cells divide! by dividing and becoming multicellular, organisms are able to grow!   check out the diagrams i attached to see the effect of sa: vol. i hope this ! good luck!
