Freshwater fish are in a hypotonic environment. "Freshwater fish have chloride cells, which vigorously move chloride ions into gills, followed by sodium ions."

<h3>What is hypotonic environment?</h3>

In biology, the term refers to a cell environment that contains less solute than the cell's cytoplasm.

When a cell is placed in a hypotonic surroundings, osmosis causes a net water flow into the cell, which has the potential to cause the cell to burst and cease functioning.

Solutions and cell surroundings are also classified as hypotonic, hypertonic, or isotonic in terms of osmotic pressure.

Some key features regarding the hypotonic environment are-

  • Plants can grow in hypotonic conditions. Their cells have rigid cell walls that keep them from bursting or lysing.
  • The cytoplasmic pressure against the cell wall prevents the plant from wilting as well as losing its shape. This is known as turgor pressure and osmotic pressure.
  • Cells without cell walls, on the other hand, swell and, if the surroundings is adequately hypotonic, burst (lyse) & die (as to cytolysis).
  • Some protists (including such Paramecium) counteract this by using contractile vacuoles, which rapidly pump water out of the cell.
  • Other organisms eject solutes from the cell in order to reduce the concentration gradient of a solute in the cell and, ideally, create an isotonic environment. Protists are microorganisms that only exist in hypotonic environments.

List and define the four main elements of the water cycle.
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

There are four main stages in the water cycle. They are evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection. Let's look at each of these stages.

Evaporation: This is when warmth from the sun causes water from oceans, lakes, streams, ice and soils to rise into the air and turn into water vapour (gas). Water vapour droplets join together to make clouds!

Condensation: This is when water vapour in the air cools down and turns back into liquid water.

Precipitation: This is when water (in the form of rain, snow, hail or sleet) falls from clouds in the sky.

Collection: This is when water that falls from the clouds as rain, snow, hail or sleet, collects in the oceans, rivers, lakes, streams. Most will infiltrate (soak into) the ground and will collect as underground water.

The water cycle is powered by the sun's energy and by gravity. The sun kickstarts the whole cycle by heating all the Earth's water and making it evaporate. Gravity makes the moisture fall back to Earth.
