What process is water moving out of the cell of a saltwater fish and into the ocean?

Answer 1

Diffusion is the way water moves out of the Saltwater Fish and into the ocean.

Fish and aquatic animals have a complex task of Osmoregulation. Their bodies and especially the gills are bathed in either salt water with high salt levels for sea life, or freshwater with low salt levels for Freshwater Fish.

The saltwater fish tend to keep saltier blood than freshwater fish. In some species, it essentially matches the environment.

In the sea, some animals maintain essentially an isotonic solution between the blood and the salt water thus preventing osmosis into the ocean.

Other ocean fish drink salt water, and actively pump sodium and chloride ions out of their gills to maintain the osmotic gradient.

Freshwater fish have highly efficient kidneys to excrete lots of water and little salt. However, they still must expend energy to pump salt and ions into their bodies.

Answer 2

Some salts react with suspended soils in the ocean and fall to the ocean floor as sediment. Also, some water will become trapped away from the ocean and the water will evaporate leaving solid salt behind. Some organisms in the ocean with shells also use small amounts of salt to,aintain their shell.

Answer 3

This process is called osmosis. Water moves from an area of low salt concentration (inside the fish cell) to an area of high salt concentration (ocean water) to balance the salt levels on both sides of the cell membrane.

Answer 5

It moves along concentration gradient. From higher concentration to lower ,diffusion.

Answer 6

It moves along concentration gradient. Water moves out to the salt water
