What else can I help you with?
What do you call an organism whose internal salt concentration varies with that of their environment?
An Osmoconformer
What kind of organism is likely to be an osmoconformer?
marine invertebrates
What is a freshwater environment?
Freshwater envirerments are easy.. Just plants and rocks
How are freshwater environments and saltwater environments different?
In a freshwater environment it is clean and in a saltwater it has salt.
How are freshwater environments and saltwater environments are different?
In a freshwater environment it is clean and in a saltwater it has salt.
What is an example of mutualism in a freshwater environment?
fish and humans
What is the difference between osmoregulators and osmoconformers?
Osmoconformer adjusts to the osmotic concentration of its surrounding so that the osmoregularity is the same at the medium. Osmoconformer maintain its own osmotic concentration regarldess of the surrounding medium.
What is Freshwater Ecology?
Ecology addresses the relationships between organisms and with their environment. Freshwater ecology studies those relationships in freshwater (non-salty water) environments.
What is difference between osmoconformer and osmoregulator?
Osmoregulator have to use energy to gain or loss water, because their body fluids are different from their environment.(osmoregulation is the process an organism uses to balance the fluids/water)Osmoconformer, on the other hand is, are organisms that have body fluids that are the same as its environment.(They don't gain or loss water during osmosis. Therefor they don't have to worry about using energy to combine ammonia with carbon dioxide ---because they excrete ammonia)
Are estuaries saltwater or freshwater ecosystems?
They contain elements of both freshwater and saltwater ecosystems.
A fluid environment suggest that the environment is what?
A fluid environment suggests that it is constantly changing and adaptable. This means that there is room for flexibility, innovation, and evolution within the environment.
Can sea snails live in freshwater environments?
No, sea snails cannot live in freshwater environments as they require a salty marine environment to survive.
