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.

Mammals lose solutes through a. urinary excretion b. respiration c. sweating d. all of these?

d. all of these. Mammals can lose solutes through urinary excretion, respiration, and sweating as a way to regulate their internal balance of solutes and water.


How does the rat lose heat?

The way all other mammals do.


Would a cell placed in syrup lose or gain water?

A cell placed in syrup would lose water through the process of osmosis. This is because the syrup has a higher concentration of solutes compared to the cell, causing water to move from the cell to the syrup in an attempt to equalize the solute concentrations.


Why do mammals lose more heat energy than reptiles?

Mammals have higher metabolic rates than reptiles, which means they generate more heat internally. This excess heat needs to be released to maintain a stable internal temperature, so mammals lose more heat energy through mechanisms like sweating, panting, and shivering. Reptiles have lower metabolic rates and can rely on external sources of heat, like the sun, to regulate their body temperature.

Why does the length of potato strips change in hypertonic and hypotonic solutions?

In a hypertonic solution, potato strips lose water through osmosis, causing them to shrink and become shorter because the surrounding solution has a higher concentration of solutes than the potato cells. Conversely, in a hypotonic solution, water enters the potato cells, leading to swelling and an increase in length as the cells become turgid due to the lower concentration of solutes outside compared to inside the cells. This osmotic movement of water is driven by the concentration gradient of solutes.


How do mammals increase heat loss from their bodies?

Mammals lose heat because they are often warmer than their surroundings, it is a law of thermodynamics that heat flows from warm to cool.


Why do mammals and birds lose a greater percentage of the energy intake to the environment as heat?

Why does an egg lose mass in salt water?

An egg will lose mass in salt water because of osmosis. Water flows out of the egg into the salt water solution, which has a higher concentration of solutes. This results in the egg losing water and mass.
