If two objects (say a carrot and a piece of liver) were to be submerged in
roughly 9% salinated water (close to salt water levels), would their cells begin
to breakdown from the excessive amount of water over a long period of time? This
is all part of a project I've been working on that involves both this, but I've
found an absence of information on the topic. Thank you so much for your time.
