Green crabs (Carcinus maenas) are hyperosmotic regulators in brackish waters. When water salinity is lowered, a green crab respo

nds by increasing its rate of urine production; its urine output, on average, rises from 4% to 30% of its body weight per day when the ambient salinity is reduced from 35 g/kg to 14 g/kg. Explain the value of this response. If one arranges to keep a green crab in full-strength seawater and bathe just its antennules with an alternative water source, urine production increases as the salinity of the water bathing the antennules is lowered. What can one conclude from this result?

Answer:

Explanation:

Green crabs have chemoreceptors located on an <em>antenna</em>.

These are long segmented appendages near the crab´s eyes that have both chemoreceptors and allow them to feel the surroundings.

Crabs also have antennules, like short appendages close to the antennas that allow them to <em>sense</em> their environment. A crab can "taste" using hairs on their mouthparts, pincers and even its feet.

So they can detect the salinity of the water by "taste" using the antennules. If these antennules are bathed with nonsalty water, the information the crab´s brain receives is to increase the salinity of its body by the system explained above, increasing its rate of urine production.

I hope it helps!

Answer:

Functions of epithelial cells include secretion, selective absorption, protection, transcellular transport, and sensing. Epithelial layers contain no blood vessels, so they must receive nourishment via diffusion of substances from the underlying connective tissue, through the basement membrane

During a long-distance run on a hot day, an athlete produces large quantities of sweat. As a result, the kidneys change the rate
Anton [14]

Answer:

To regulate water balance in the body

Explanation:

The kidneys are two bean shaped renal organs which perform a host of functions for the body such as regulating fluid balance, filtering minerals from the blood etc. Among their functions is the regulation of water balance in the body through the antidiuretic hormone.

When an athlete completes a physical activity and sweats a lot, the kidney reacts to the loss of water by sweat by adjusting urine output causing the body to produce lower and more concentrated urine.
