When a jellyfish is removed from its salwater environment and put into fresh water it swells and bursts?

Question

why?? hint: think about how plant cells and animal cells react when placed in a solution

please please help??

Answer 1

The jellyfish cells have a higher salt concentration than freshwater, so water will diffuse into the the cells, eventually bursting them.
