Unlike freshwater fish, saltwater fish

Biology
1 answer:
Olin [163]3 years ago
7 0


The best answer is A

Saltwater fish are hypotonic to their surroundings. This means their blood has a higher water concentration than the surrounding sea water.

Due to the fact that there is more salt and less water outside their bodies, there is a tendency to take in salt and lose water.

To counter this, salt water fish drink a lot of the sea water and urinate very little. Special cells in the gills actively eliminate salt at the cost of extra energy and these fishes do not absorb any salt from the water they drink.

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Volcanic gases. (Ans A)

Explanation:

Ocean water is salty because of the presence of dissolved salt. When water contact with a rock it starts weathering processes and this process starts to dissolve the soluble elements such as sodium out of the rock.

In volcanic gases, lots of chlorine ions are present in the atmosphere, these ions easily dissolve with water and produce the large flux of chloride that splashes into the oceans. So, the most common source of chloride ions in ocean waters comes from the volcanic explosions.

What is the difference between force and net force? <br><br>Don't copied from goo-gle
inessss [21]
"Net force" simply means the sum of all forces. The "unless acted upon by a net force" version is more correct. For example, as you stand or sit still, the earth pushes you up with a force equal and opposite to the force with which gravity pulls you down. The net force, or total force, is zero, so you do not move.
