How would a saltwater fish respond if it is put in an aquarium of fresh water? a) salt would move into the cells of the fish b) water would move into the cells of the fish c) water would move out of the cells of the fish d) salt and water would move out of the cells of the fish

Answer;

-B. Water would move into the body cells of the fish

Explanation;

-

In a hypotonic solution the total molar concentration of all dissolved solute particles is less than that of another solution or less than that of a cell.In a hypertonic solution the total molar concentration of all dissolved solute particles is greater than that of another solution, or greater than the concentration in a cell. Lastly, when two environments are isotonic, the total molar concentration of dissolved solutes is the same in both of them.

Therefore; when fish from sea water are placed in a fresh water environment, they will absorb water osmotically and burst. This is explained by the fact that they become hypertonic to the fresh water thus their cells take in more water, which makes them burst.

tsd is temerature dependent sex determination.

tsd: it is a type of environmental sex determination in which the temperature experienced during embryonic/ larval development (ambient temperature for development) determine the sex of the offspring.

crocodile displays the tsd where the ambient temperature of the developing egg determines the individual's sex. for example in the american alligator's eggs, incubation at 33 ºc produces mostly males, while incubation at 30 ºc produces mostly females. so if the american alligator's egg will get the ambient temperature (33 degree celcius)during embryonic development from egg, the offspring will be male and same for the female sex determination.
