Summary Introduction
Introduction: The maintenance of osmotic pressure within the body is known as osmoregulation. Changes in osmotic pressure are usually sensed by the osmoreceptors that influence the downstream signaling pathways to maintain the homeostasis. Based on its osmotic regulation process, the organism is classified into two types namely osmoregulators and osmoconformers. Osmoregulators concentrate and maintain the internal osmotic pressure whereas the osmoconformers involve in matching of its body osmotic pressure to the environmental osmotic pressure.

- Due to human activities more carbon dioxide (CO2) is dissolving into the air, the ocean takes up more CO2 and becomes increasingly acidic. Increased ocean acidity makes it more difficult for marine animals to produce their calcium-rich hard parts. Explain three types of invertebrates that are likely to be adversely affected by an increase in ocean acidity.arrow_forwardAccording to the Fick equation, the fish gill is an effective gas exchange surface because... A. It has a high blood-to-water diffusion distance B. The total surface area of the lamellae is very large C. The scaphognathite maintains a constant flow of water across the gill D. The gill tissue is supported by the surrounding water E. All of the abovearrow_forwardWhen tissue of the body are unloading CO2 into the blood, what best describes what happens to most of the CO2? A. Most of the CO2 unloads into the blood plasma where it reacts with water to become HCO3- B. Most of the CO2 unloads into the red blood cell where it reacts with water to become HCO3-, which is then transported out of the red blood cell and directly into the blood plasma. C. Most of the CO2 binds to hemoglobin in the red blood cell. D. Most of the CO2 unloads into the blood plasma where it reacts with water to become HCO3-, which is then transported directly into the red blood cell.arrow_forward
