Answer:
The correct answer is "excretes; hypotonic; absorbs, hypertonic".
Explanation:
Cell's homeostasis is only conserved in an isotonic solution, since cells that are in an hypertonic solution (high salt concentration) tend to loss water, and in hypotonic solution (low salt concentration) tend to absorb water. Brine shrimp lives in waters that are both, hypertonic and hypotonic and has adapted to overcome this issue by excreting and absorbing salt across its gills. In very high salt concentrations, a brine shrimp "excretes" salt across its gills and maintains an internal salt concentration that is "hypotonic" relative to the water where it lives. In lower salt concentrations, a brine shrimp "absorbs" salt water across its gills and maintains an internal salt concentration that is "hypertonic" relative to the water where it lives.
As relevant to the question here, an object’s mass refers to an intrinsic property of the object while weight refers to a force that depends on the local gravitational field. So, if an object moves between planets with different gravitational pull, the object’s weight would change but its mass would not.
The third option would thus be the correct one (the object of an invariant mass would have a lesser weight on planet B than on planet A).
