explain why animal and plant cannot survive in freshwater?
Answers
Answer:
-In the Marine environment many freshwater fishes are not able to survive because their bodies are not adapted to the marine water.
-There is a high concentration of salt in marine water and in such hypotonic conditions freshwater animals suffer osmotic problems. The bodies of the freshwater animal start to lose water by exosmosis.
-Therefore the freshwater animals it is difficult to survive in the Marine environment.
Additional Information: -The Marine animals also not able to survive in the freshwater because their bodies adapted to the high concentration of salt solutions. The water continues to enter their bodies until all their cells accumulate the water. As a result, they bloat and die eventually.
-In the same way, freshwater animals are also not able to survive in the ocean or salty water because seawater is too salty for them. The water which enters their body continues to flow out of their cells and they will die because of dehydration.
freshwater animals die because of dehydration.
