Using the appropriate osmotic terms (hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic) describe what would happen to each organism in the following settings: A single-celled freshwater protist is placed into a beaker of salt water. A salt-water snail is mistakenly put into a freshwater tank. A head of lettuce is placed soaked in a sink of salt water. A bunch of carrots are placed soaked a sink of distilled water.
