1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
How at a cellular level does salt concentration affect the growth?


2. Relevant equations



3. The attempt at a solution
-sodium ions stimulate the growth
-stabilise the cell membrane
-affect Na-dependent active transport/motility
Could you give me a bit more info for what happens at a cellular level to those I've stated and others that you know if there are low concentration of salt and higher concentrations of salt

Thanks.
