movement of water (not particles)
|
osmoregulation
|
|
process of the body ridding nitrogenous material and waste product
|
excretion
|
|
after excretion ____ is released
|
ammonia
|
|
osmoregulation moves by osmosis which is
|
movement of water from high concentration of particles to low concentration of particles
|
|
osmosis occurs when
|
there is a difference of osmolarity (osmotic pressure)
|
|
two solutions separated by a membrane that have the same osmolarity
|
isoosmotic
|
|
hyperosmotic
|
has more solutes than surroundings so water rushes in
|
|
hypoosmotic
|
less concentration than surroundings so water rushes out
|
|
being isoosmotic with its surroundings
|
osmoconformer
|
|
controls its internal osmolarity independent to surroundings
|
osmoregulator
|
|
marine animals that never lose or gain water
|
osmoconformers
|
|
fresh water and terrestrial animals that discharge water
|
osmoregulators
|
|
osmoconformer or osmoregulator that cannot tolerate big changes in osmolarity
|
stenohaline
|
|
osmoconformer or osmoregulator that can survive large flucturations
|
euryhaline
|
|
if cell is hypertonic, the environment is
|
hypotonic
|
|
osmosis is
|
passive
|
|
diffusion is
|
movement of solutes from high concentration to lower concentration; passive or facilitated
|
|
hyperpolarization happens when
|
sodium and potassium rush out of cell and get more negative
|
|
nephron
|
functional unit of kidneys that balances concentration of water and solutes
|
|
tube apart of nephron that creates conc gradient
|
loop of henle
|
|
resting potential
|
no movement of ions in and out of membrane
|
|
action potential begins and cell voltage spikes up!
|
threshold
|
|
arthopods, snails, and clams have what kind of circulatory system?
|
open
|
