Nemo and other ocean dwelling fish cannot survive in freshwater because......

• freshwater is hypertonic to Nemo's cells and will result in water leaving them causing the cells to shrink

• freshwater is hypotonic to Nemo's cells and will result in water leaving them causing the cells to shrink

• freshwater is hypertonic to Nemo's cells and will result in water entering them causing the cells to swell and burst

• freshwater is hypotonic to Nemo's cells and will result in water enter them causing the cells to swell and burst
