The Case of the Burst Cell

Before the debrief: three questions

Same concepts as your pre-check, new questions.

A freshwater fish cell sits in fresh water, which has far less salt than the cell. What happens?
A cell moves calcium from inside, where there's little, to outside, where there's lots. What kind of transport is this?
Na+ is tiny. Why can't it cross the bilayer on its own?
