Question

Salt is notoriously dangerous to land snails; however, some populations of aquatic, freshwater snail have brackish (or a mix of salt and fresh water) water adaptations and live in different parts of a river system. A group of scientists monitored salt concentrations in the habitats of two freshwater snail populations located nearby and recorded the salt level as follows (in ppt, parts per thousand):
Population 1 (Day 1): 0.1 ppt (morning), 0.0 ppt (afternoon), 0.1 ppt (evening)


Population 2 (Day 1): 0.3 ppt (morning), 0.5 ppt (afternoon), 0.2 ppt (evening)


In 3-5 sentences, 1) describe in which population you'd expect to see more adaptations for salt water and 2) explain how such adaptations would become
more common in this population.

Answer 2

Answer:

These aquatic snails obviously need to live in water, such as a river. Their aquatic name explains why! This means the snails will always need to live in a high salt level water area. These environmental factors have been influenced due to the different salt levels. Land snails environmental requirements are very different then the aquatic snails. For starters, their environment will obviously revolve around the land instead of the water. Also, as mentioned in the question above, salt is notoriously dangerous to land snails. Thus, they wont be around salty areas due to their safety.
