Question

Classification of animal on basis of osmoregulation

Answer 1

Answer:

Two major types of osmoregulation are osmoconformers and osmoregulators. Osmoconformers match their body osmolarity to their environment actively or passively. Osmoregulators tightly regulate their body osmolarity, maintaining constant internal conditions. They are more common in the animal kingdom.

Answer 2

Osmoconformers and osmoregulators are the two main forms of osmoregulation.

Osmoregulators animals:

• Osmoregulators are creatures that actively adjust their osmotic pressure regardless of their surroundings.
• Osmoregulatory behavior is found in many animals, including humans.
• Most freshwater fish are also thought to be osmoregulatory.
• The process of adjusting water potential to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance within a cell or organism in relation to the surrounding environment.
• Osmoregulation is crucial in biology because it allows organisms to maintain a consistent, appropriate osmotic pressure within the body or cell.
• The kidney is the primary organ of osmoregulation and excretion in terrestrial animals.
• Most invertebrates produce highly concentrated urine, which prevents water loss from their bodies.
• Amphibians and reptiles that are unable to produce hyperosmotic pee do not produce urine during osmotic stress.
