With regard to water regulation (maintaining the proper amount of water in the body), how does the challenge faced by a freshwater fish differ from that faced by a saltwater fish?

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
The bodily fluids of freshwater fish contain higher concentration of dissolved solids in their surroundings, so they tend to bloat (take in water) or lose electrolytes. How can freshwater fish avoid this? 1.) By drinking lots of water? 2.) By actively transporting ions out from the gills into the water? 3.) by excreting highly concentrated urine? 4.) by resorbing ions in nephrons
The process of managing internal water/solute balance is known as: Hydrometering Osmoregulation Hydromation Fluid dynamics Aquamarine
How do the kidneys maintain blood pH? Group of answer choices by releasing buffers by excreting H+ ions by changing breathing rate by excreting glucose   Which of the following signals the central nervous system to initiate urination? Group of answer choices Stretch sensors in the urinary bladder send out signals when it reaches a certain fullness The excretory centre rhythmically signals the urinary bladder to contract Stretch sensors in the kidneys send out signals when it reaches a certain fullness Increased production of aldosterone signals the urinary bladder to contract
