How does active transport help the Atlantic cod maintain homeostasis with regard to the balance of sodium and chlorine ions

Biology

kotegsom [21]3 years ago

Atlantic Cod is a marine fish. The fish has less salt in its internal body while the salt concentration in the sea water in which the Cod lives is high. Thus through the process of osmosis ( a process in which an element moves across a permeable membrane from regions of high concentration to the regions of low concentration) the salt moves from the ocean into the fish body. In such scenario the metabolism of the fish body gets disturbed, and there is an urgent need to remove the excess salt with the help of Kidney (through extremely concentrated urine) by going against the concentration gradient in order to maintain the homeostasis.

Answer:

The Atlantic cod is fish of Atlantic ocean that continuously drinks water to fulfill its needs, however, this fish is not an ocean osmoconformer. The concentration of the salt is less than the seawater in the fish. It removes water by the process of osmosis which is active transport to the ocean.

The homeostasis is maintained by these fishes by removing excessive salt from the body and as it moves against the gradient that is active transport, this process requires energy. These fishes excrete urine in a very concentrated form.

What would most likely happen if a person increased the amount of saturated fat in his or her diet?
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The person's risk of cardiovascular disease would increase.

Explanation:

saturated refers to all single bonds in the hydrocarbon chain, meaning no kinks in the chain. The hydrocarbon has the most number of carbons it can have, as there are all single bonds. If the hydrocarbon has even one less carbon, there would be kink, and it would be unsaturated and liquid. Our body needs less carbon, so unsaturated fats are better. But having saturated fats means no liquid, rather solid, which means harder for the blood to get to the heart. So your risk would cardiovascular disease would increase

Monoecious plants Dioecious plants Angiosperms Gymnosperms A. has megasporangiate and microsporangiate flowers on the same plant
laiz [17]

Answer:monoecious-

A. has megasporangiate and microsporangiate flowers on the same plant

Dioecious- B. has megasporangiate and microsporangiate flowers on different plants.

Angiosperm-C. produce flowers and fruits

Gymnosperm- D. produce seeds that are not protected by the ovary

Explanation:

Monoecious plant are plant that have both male and female part or sex organ are located on the same plant example is cowpea

Dioecious are plant that have male and female gametes or organ are locate on different plants example is pawpaw

Angiosperm are called flowering plant. They have both fruits and seed. The ovule develops into seed while the ovary develops into the fruits. They are both unisexual and bisexual example is peas

Gymnosperms are non flowering plant. They have seeds but no fruits. They are unisexual example is pine

Answer:

A biotic factor is a living thing that has an impact on another population of living things or on the environment. Abiotic factors do the same thing, but they are non-living. Together, biotic and abiotic factors make up an ecosystem. To survive, biotic factors need abiotic factors. Hope it helps you .

Why are owls considered keystone predator
Dmitry [639]

Explanation:

Keystone species are animals that help manage other animal species by controlling population numbers and biodiversity within an ecosystem. The impacts of keystone species are usually greater than their numbers. 

owls can be a great benefit to places where rodent populations are high. Dense urban areas often suffer from an abundance of rats and mice spreading disease, and rural agricultural communities have their crops consumed and soil eroded from burrowing voles and field mice. Without owls, and other top predators, rodent populations could explode and exacerbate the effects they produce.
