Answer:

A. Water is denser and more viscous than air.

B. Water contains much less O2 than air per unit volume.

E. Diffusion occurs more slowly in water than in air.

Explanation:

The gas exchange for aquatic animals is more difficult than for terrestrial animal because of several reasons like water is denser and vicious than air so the diffusion of oxygen in air is much faster than the diffusion of oxygen in the water.  

The concentration of oxygen in the air is much higher than the concentration in the water. In air the concentration of oxygen in 21% but in water, it is a tiny fraction of 1 percent oxygen. The oxygen holding capacity of warm water becomes less in cold water. So the right answer is A, B, and E.

Explain how the release of sodium and chlorine would lead to a loss of water in the intestines
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) are two electrolytes that play important role in the absorption of water and nutrients in the small intestine. However, as mentioned in the question, the release of sodium and chlorine would lead to a loss of water in the intestines. This is because of the OSMOTIC phenomenon.

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of high concentration of water/low concentration of solute to a region of low concentration of water/high concentration of solute via a semipermeable membrane. In this case, the Na+ and Cl- ions serve as the solutes, which when released out of the intestine causes the solution in the intestines to be HYPOTONIC compared to the intestinal environment. This causes an OSMOTIC GRADIENT.

This osmotic gradient i.e. difference in concentration provokes osmotic flow of water from the intestines, which has a low solute/high water concentration, to the outside of the intestines, which has a high solute/low water concentration. Hence, water is lost from the intestine because the solute concentration becomes low when sodium and chlorine ions are released.
