What is the term used to describe the type of solution in which cells will lose water to their environment?
Cells immersed in hypertonic solutions lose water and shrink, or crenate.
How would a person in a moderate environment probably would lose the greatest amount of water by means of?
urine.
Why are parasites NOT 'degenerate organisms' as was believed by some biologists in the early 20th century but actually quite advanced organisms?
They have kept the traits that they need in their environment and that same environment has caused them to lose the others. They fit the niche perfectly without any excess traits. Thus saving energy and reproducing more efficiently.
In a hypo tonic solution will a cell gain or lose water or no net change?
The cell will not loose or gain water.An isotonic solution means that the amount of solutes outside the cell is similar or equal to the amount of solutes inside the cell. Water is moving by osmosis both in and out of the cell at equal rates; the net movement of water is zero.A cell will lose water in a hypertonic solution (more solute in the surrounding environment) and gain water in a hypotonic solution (more solute in the cellular environment). Whether or not a solution is hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic is relative to the environment in the cell.
What is it called when organisms lose their scales?
Shedding

Why red worms don't like sun?
Terrestrial oligochaeta annelids (worms like Lumbricus) lose water from their skin, and staying at the sunlight will dehydratate and bring them to death.

urine.
What happens when organisms compete for resources?
Some organisms win and some organisms lose.

What problems are likely to occur with the bilby's water loss in its environment?
As bilbies live in semi-arid areas, they rarely need to drink water directly, being able to fulfil their moisture needs with the seeds, fungi, insects and larvae which they eat. However, these other organisms rely on water to grow; if the region becomes too arid, the bilbies lose their source of food.
What would happen if a jellyfish was placed in a very low salt environment what would happen?
It would lose salt into the water.
What is it called when organisms lose their scales?
Shedding
What will happen if all living organisms lose the capacity for reproduction?
Then all species of organisms will eventually die out.
