- Many types of fishes live in freshwater. Generally, water moves by osmosis from the surrounding fresh water into the fish's body. This observation helps to explain which feature of the excretory systems of freshwater fishes? a. They tend to produce dilute, watery urine. b. They tend to produce concentrated, dark urine. c. They do not produce urine, but instead conserve or re-use nitrogenous wastes. d. They may produce either dilute or concentrated urine, depending on the activity of the fish.arrow_forwardDraw a vertebrate nephron and label the parts, then indicate the process of urine formation is occurring at that region/part.arrow_forwardExplain how insects are capable of secreting concentrated urine without depending on high blood pressure filtration.arrow_forward
