Question

cite at least two important role of osmoregulation in carrying out essential life processes​

Answer 1

Answer:

Osmoregulation is an important process in both plants and animals as it allows organisms to maintain a balance between water and minerals at the cellular level despite changes in the external environment. Osmoregulators take up both minerals and water from the environment and have methods of expelling what they do not need and conserving what is in short supply.

Answer 2

Answer:

Osmoregulation is important in carrying out essential life processes​ such as in

i) maintaining body homeostasis

ii) maintaining a proper fluid balance or tonicity of the bloodstream

Explanation:

• Osmoregulation refers to the fundamental process of living systems, equivalent in importance to other life processes.
• The dynamic law of the osmotic pressure( Salt pressure) of an organism's liquids to keep the homeostasis of the organism's water content balanced is called osmoregulation, and that implies it keeps up with the organic entity's fluids from turning excessively weakened or excessively engaged/concentrated.

• All cells, even those in multicellular living beings with organism‐wide osmoregulation, can effectively control their water balance.

• Osmoregulation envelops homeostatic cycles that keep a proper intracellular climate for biochemical cycles as well as turgor of cells and living organisms.
• For example; Kidney meant for excretion is the process important for osmoregulation. Metabolic wastes such as nitrogenous wastes or salts require the process of osmoregulation for their removal from the unfiltered blood i.e. the amount of water reabsorbed from the glomerular filtrate also requires such active regulation.
• Also in the case of plants, osmoregulation helps in maintaining the fluidity, and turgidity by opening & closing of stomatal pore during the transpiration of water.
