What would happen to a paramecium in salt water?
A paramecium living in salt water wouldn’t need contractile vacuoles, because the water pressures are different than in fresh water. But, in salt water, the water pressure of the cell is greater than outside it because the pure water outside the cell is diluted by the salt.Click to see full answer.

Furthermore, can paramecium survive in saltwater?Paramecium that live in salt water however do not have contractile vacuoles because when the salt outside of the paramecium is higher that the amount of salt inside a paramecium, then they need all of the water they can get so do not need contractile vacuoles to contract.Secondly, what happens to a plant cell in salt water? Salt Sucks, Cells Swell Water in cells moves toward the highest concentration of salt. If a higher concentration of salt is placed outside of the cell membrane, the water will leave the cell to bond with it. The loss of water from this movement causes plant cells to shrink and wilt. Similarly, it is asked, what would happen to the paramecium if the contractile vacuoles stopped working? If the paramecium was not able to contract its contractile vacuole, it would be in danger of bursting. The cell would not be able to hold too much water. This would happen faster if the paramecium was in water with a low salt concentration because there is more water and less salt, so the water would accumulate faster.What happens when freshwater amoeba kept in salt water?Salt water is hypertonic as compared to the solution inside the Amoeba cell. When Amoeba is placed in salt water, it will lose water by exosmosis and will shrink.
