Question

Will there be water flow into or out of the fish without proper homeostatic processes? Will the fish experience "bloating" or "dehydration?" what are some ways fish could deal with excess water loss or water retention? (hint: tie it back to humans -- what do you do if you're dehydrated?)

Answer 1

(Question 1 points 3)

No. There will be no water flow into or out of the fish without proper homeostatic processes. The body temperature of fish is regulated by the temperature of the water. the fishes only allow the solvent (water) to move across, but not the solutes. A fish is, after all, a collection of fluids floating in a fluid environment.

(Question 2 points 3)

The fish will not experience "bloating" or "dehydration” because in nature all organisms maintain normal conditions through homeostasis. It is the tendency toward a relatively stable equilibrium maintained by physiological processes by the body. Gills of fishes, enzymes help in maintain. Humans drink water in case of dehydration.

(Question 3 points 3)

Fish are the cold-blooded creatures of God. Most of the fishes cannot control their internal body temperature by themselves just like human beings. In order to stay at a normal and a healthy temperature, or to obtain temperature homeostasis, the fish seek warmer or colder water for water retention when they face the excessive water loss.
