Answer:

Osmosis

Aquaporins

Explanation:

This is because osmosis is the movement of solutes from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration through a permeable membrane.

Aquaporins are lipid bilayer and water pores that serve as channels of transmembrane proteins that allow water to cross the membrane very fast, and they play vital roles red blood cells, plant cells and kidney which help to reduce water lose.

Bony Fish (bass etc.) and marine mammals (like dolphins) evolved some similar adaptations for survival in aquatic environments.
xeze [42]

Answer:

Convergent evolution

Explanation:

Convergent evolution is a type of evolution of similar features and/or structures between organisms that are not phylogenetically related. This type of evolution is known to create analogous structures/organs that exhibit similar or the same functions but were not present in the last common ancestor of these taxa. An example of analogous structures (and therefore also of convergent evolution) are the wings of bats and of insects (e.g., butterflies). Conversely, divergent evolution is a type of evolution where species phylogenetically related, i.e., species that share a common ancestor, evolve and accumulate differences over time.

How does phosphorus reach surface waters​
egoroff_w [7]

It is an essential element for plant life, but when there is too much of it in water, it can speed up eutrophication (a reduction in dissolved oxygen in water bodies caused by an increase of mineral and organic nutrients) of rivers and lakes. Soil erosion is a major contributor of phosphorus to streams.
