Fresh water fish:
Correct answer: C. Large amount of hypotonic urine contain little salt
- A. Body fluid isotonic to external environment
- B. Passive loss of water from gills
- C. Large amount of hypotonic urine contain little salt
- D. Kidney
Explanation
Fresh water animals are constantly facing the osmotic flooding of body fluids and loss of salts. Fresh water protozoa, Amoeba and Paramecium pump out excess water by structures of contractile vacuoles. Many fresh water animals including fishes remove excess water by producing large volumes of very dilute urine. The loss of salts is compensated by preference of salt containing food and by active uptake of salts by gills and skin

About Homeostasis
Homeostasis maintains a stable internal environment through the kidney and urinary system, thermoregulation and excretion. The kidney topics include filtration, selective reabsorption, urine formation and water balance, while thermoregulation involves sweating, vasodilation, vasoconstriction and hormonal control; excretion is different from egestion, which removes undigested food.
