Best Answer

Mammals lose solutes through urinary excretion, respiration, and sweating. The process that normally exerts the greatest control over water balance of an individual is urinary excretion.

Are whales and dophins considered to be true mammals?

Yes. They are cetaceans and are not considered fish. They are warm-blooded, air breathing (through a blowhole), that give birth to live young that nurse from milk produced by the mother -- all characteristics that categorize them as mammals. And yes, they do have a bit of hair or fur, another thing that classifies them as mammals. Whales typically lose theirs after birth while most dolphins have a bit around their blowholes for life.


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.
