I am a IB student. This is from IB Bio Hl. WE did a lab in which under a microscope we placed a leaf from a elodea plant. We then added glucose and had to figure out what happened. Then we used distilled water to wash the glucose and had to note what happened when we added distilled water. We repeated the experiment using sodium. I'm not very good and Biology and that question is part of my lab. Any help would be appreciated.

No, because it lives in a freshwater lake it is not adaptive to saltwater. Since the cells of the elodea is hypertonic to the salt water it will lose water due to osmosis and eventually shivel up and fall apart.

Fresh water normally mixes with sea water in the tidal zone of a river or stream. Rivers with very high flows such as the Amazon may wash freshwater far out into the ocean.
