Consuming excessive amounts of pure water creates hypotonic environment in the body fluid surrounding the cell.

<h3>What is a hypotonic solution?</h3>
  • A solution having lower osmotic pressure than the solution to which it is compared.
  • It has lower amount of solute (high amount of solvent) compared to other solution separated by a semi-permeable membrane.
  • After consuming excessive amounts of pure water, the body fluid becomes hypotonic, so water enters from body fluid to the cell resulting in the cell to swell or break.

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Reproduce.

Explanation:

Almost all living being on the earth has the mentality to continue the race. This is why many say that humans, as well as animals, are sex-driven, and that in growing up, their sexual hormones will also become bigger (until it reaches its peak somewhere around early middle-age). Without this mentality, the group will always die out. Their next mentality is similar, to survive. This mentality essentially is just adding more steps to the first one, to survive long enough to reproduce and continue the race.

C. response to the environment D. energy transformation

E. maintaining homeostasis

The correct option is maintain homeostasis which is C.

Explanation:

This is because salmon posseses adaptive physical characteristics that help it to suitably live both in freshwater and salt water. This is because homeostasis is the ability to resist any change in order to maintain body internal environment and this is a negative loop feedback. Organs of salmon work to control homeostasis but endocrine and nervous system engage more in maintain homeostasis.
