aquatic organisms face the problem of osmoregulation depending on the salt concentration of the environment. a freshwater fish is in danger of a. gaining solutes from the environment so it excretes concentrated urine b. taking in so much water from the environment that its body might explode c. losing water to its environment so it excretes concentrated urine d. losing solutes to its environment so its gills and kidneys actively retain solutes

The diagram models the osmotic pressures experienced by a fish. Why would this fish most likely drink little water but excrete dilute urine? Explain your answer in terms of the osmolarity of the water it lives in. a. The high osmolarity of the water would cause accumulation of too many salts in the body of the fish. b. The water it lives in has very low osmolarity, which causes water to constantly diffuse into the fish’s body. c. The water it lives in has very high osmolarity, which causes water to constantly diffuse out of the fish’s body. d. The water it lives in has very high osmolarity, which causes water to constantly diffuse into the fish’s body.
