Do dolphins pee or?

Yes, dolphins do pee. Like all mammals, they excrete waste products, including urine, which is primarily composed of water, urea, and other substances. Dolphins have specialized kidneys that help them conserve water, allowing them to thrive in their marine environment. Their urine is typically expelled into the water, where it quickly disperses.


Why is maintaining water balance within the body a different process for freshwater fish than for marine fish?

Freshwater fishes drink very little water and take in little water with their food. Marine fishes must conserve water, and therefore their kidneys excrete little water. To maintain their water balance, marine fishes drink large quantities of seawater, retaining most of the water and excreting the salt.

Which animals excrete their nitrogenous waste entirely as ammonia?

Most aquatic animals, such as fish and marine invertebrates, excrete their nitrogenous waste mainly as ammonia. Ammonia is highly soluble in water and can be easily released through their gills or directly into the environment. This adaptation is beneficial in aquatic environments where water is readily available to dilute and remove toxic ammonia.

As a fish moves from salt water to fresh water its cells do what?

As a fish moves from salt water to fresh water, its cells undergo osmosis, where water moves into the cells because the concentration of solutes inside the cells is higher than that in the surrounding fresh water. This can cause the cells to swell and potentially burst if the fish does not regulate the influx of water. To cope with this change, the fish may excrete more dilute urine to remove excess water and adjust its internal salt balance.
