Answer:
1.) When plant cells are put in really salty water, water diffuses/moves out of the cell and the central vacuole shrinks.If you put a freshwater fish in salt water its cells would lose water and shrivel because the water has more salt than its cells.
2.) If you water a plant with salt water, it will wilt, and will eventually die. This is due to the fact that the salt water is a hypertonic solution when compared to the plant cells, and water inside the plant cells will diffuse by osmosis out of the cells in order to reduce the concentration of the salt solution.
3.) When plant cells are put in fresh water, water diffuses/moves into the cell and fills up the central vacuole. ... Plant cells don't burst if a lot of water diffuses/moves into them because of their cell wall. If you put a salt water crab in fresh water its cells would burst because water would keep moving in.
