Question:

If a fresh water fish is placed in an aquarium containing sea water, will the fish be able to survive? Explain giving reasons.

If a fresh water fish is placed in the sea water containing aquarium, the fish will not be able to survive because it is adapted to live in fresh water not in saline water. In the sea water, fish will not be able to cope with the hypertonic environment (sea water environment) and it lost water through the exosmosis process which leads to the death of the fishes.
