Compare and contrast osmotic challenges faced by animals in freshwater, marine, and terrestrial environments, and the adaptation
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

  • Fresh water fish have higher salt contents in their bodies than in their environments.
  • Marine fishes have less salt in their bodies than their environment
  • Terrestrial organisms have the challenge of water retention due to atmospheric contact.

Explanation:

FRESH WATER OSMOREGULATION

The salt concentration in salt water fish is higher than the concentration found in its environment (fresh water). This causes water to enter into the body of the fish through osmosis and without regulating processes, the fish is bound to swell and likely burst.To compensate for this challenge, the kidney in fresh water fish produces a large amount of urine, causing them to lose salt. To ensure too salt is not lost beyond the basic requirement, chloride cells in the gills take up ions from the water which are transported into the blood.

MARINE OSMOREGULATION

In marine fishes, the challenge opposes that of fresh water fishes since salt content in this case is lower in their blood than in their environment. To address this challenge, marine fishes lose water constantly while retaining salts to lead to a build up. The water lost, is then made up for and replenished by continual drinking of seawater. The chloride cells in marine fishes works in a manner opposing that of fresh water fish, functioning to compliment the excretion of salts by the kidney.

TERRESTRIAL OSMOREGULATION

The major challenge of osmoregulation in  terrestrial organisms is water regulation in the body owing to their contact with the atmosphere.

Terrestrial organisms possess effective kidneys which enable osmoregulation. A series of processes including filtration, re-absorption and tubular secretion, enable regulation of fluids and water conservation.

Water passes out of the descending limb of the loop of Henle, leaving a more concentrated filtrate inside. Salt diffuses out from the lower, thin part of the ascending limb. In the upper, thick part of the ascending limb, salt is then actively transported into the interstitial fluid. The amount of salt in the interstitial fluid, determines how much water moves out of the descending limb i.e the saltier it gets, the more water moves out of the descending limb. This process leaves a concentrated filtrate inside, so more salt passes out. Water from the collecting ducts moves out by osmosis into this hypertonic interstitial fluid and is carried away by capillaries, achieving osmoregulation.

What is the advantage of using an iodophor rather than iodine or an iodine tincture?
siniylev [52]

Explanation:

Iodophor -

Iodophor is a complex of iodine , with solubilizing agents , such as the povidone , surfactant .

And forms a water - soluble material which can release free iodine in the solution phase .

Dilute form of  iodophor is  used by winemakers and brewers to sanitize their equipment and bottles .

The major advantage of iodophor over other is that , it increases the stability of iodine .

When would a testcross be done?
vova2212 [387]
<span>Additional facts:
A test cross between an organism whose genotype for a certain trait is unknown and an organism that is homozygous recessive for that trait so the unknown genotype can be determined from that of the offspring.
Answer:
You'd use it when you wish to see if the one that you think is a homozygous dominant is a purebred, because if you did get a recessive offspring then it proves that the animal is a heterozygous and not a purebred.</span>

What is the pH of an aqueous solution with the hydronium ion concentration
Anni [7]

Answer:

pH = 13.70

Explanation:

pH is a value used in chemistry to determine nature of solutions, quality of several chemicals, etc.

pH is defined as -log [H₃O⁺]

A solution with molar concentration of hydronium ion, H₃O⁺. of 2x10⁻¹⁴M, has as pH:

pH = -log [2x10⁻¹⁴M]

pH = 13.70
