solvent molecules pass through a membrane from less concentrated to more concentrated solution
OSMOSIS
ratio of solutes to water
OSMOLARITY
unit of osmolarity
MILLIOSMOLES/LIT
maintain constant condition
REGULATE
adjust according to surrounding
CONFORM
response to abiotic factors when it comes to temperature
THERMOREGULATOR
THERMOCONFORMER
response to abiotic factors when it comes to osmolarity
OSMOREGULATOR
OSMOCONFORMER
can regulate constant condition and maintain body temperature
THERMOREGULATOR
what temperature is being maintained
37 CELCIUS
adjusts temperature accoridng to environment temperature
THERMOCONFORM
can regulate constant osmolarity and maintain normal osmolarity
OSMOREGULATORS
osmolarity depends on environments
OSMOCONFORM
what is the passive diffusion of ions?
HIGH TO LOW
what is active transport of water ( when water is moving in )
LOW TO HIGH
excess water
HYPOTONIC URINE
absorption of ions is done by?
CHLORIDE CELLS
has backbone except hogfish
VERTEBRATES ( OSMOREGULATORS )
has no backbones except hogfish
INVERTEBRATES ( OSMOCONFORMERS )
freshwater fish , saltwater fish , humans
OSMOREGULATORS
match their body’s osmolarity to their environment
OSMOCONFORMERS
lobsters, starfish , some sharks
OSMOCONFORMERS
produces saliva where mechanical mastication of food takes place to form bolus
MOUTH
a muscular tube that conduct peristalsis and serves as passageway of food
ESOPHAGUS
produces bile that helps in the digestion of fats
