<h2>a) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the way animals maintain a stable internal  balance in their body and allows animals to function in the changing  external conditions surrounding their body

The high salt concentration in the ocean means that salt will be constantly diffusing into  the body of some animals

Water and salts can move  through the gill membrane to maintain the balance

The kidneys are used to remove excess salts through their urine, which is quite  concentrated

The concentrated urine is also due to the increase in a hormone (ADH) which  causes more water to be reabsorbed by the kidneys

Why don't antibiotic work on viruses?
Aleksandr [31]
Antibiotics are meant to kill living things (bacteria). Viruses, on the other hand, we are not sure if they would classify as living. Viruses change the meaning of "life" if we consider them alive. They can <em>only </em>reproduce within another cell by taking over that cell. An antibiotic would have to be able to kill human cells to kill a virus, and that would not be a good medicine to take. Viruses invade a host cell and incorporate the virus DNA into the host cell's DNA, which would cause the host cell to create more viruses to invade other cells. <span />
