a saltwater para mission when transferred to a freshwater pond will die due to the bursting of the cell.
Explanation:
- in case of a saltwater paramoecium there is the presence of higher amount of solutes in the contractile vacuoles of the organism.
- As a result of this the the Osmosis is prevented because the osmolarity of the salt water is equal to osmolarity of the solution the contractile vacuole. However if it is transferred to a freshwater pond then Water would enter the cell of the paramecium by Osmosis.
- Finally the cell will burst open because of excess amount of water
