AftrA the discovery of early stone tools and animals remains in northern Kenya show that almost 2 millions years ago human began eating food such as crocodile , turtles and fresh water fish , which may have been the catalyst for brain development and humanities first steps out of Africa.

Fish Regulation Saltwater Fish vs Freshwater Fish Is the environment hypertonic / isotonic / hypotonic with respect to the extracellular fluid of the fish? What does the fish have to do to maintain an optimal internal solute and water concentrations?

17. Which of the following is an osmoconformer? a) Freshwater fish b) Sea anemone c) Marine bony fish d) An anadromous fish 18. Reptiles excrete uric acid because a) it is more toxic than ammonia. b) it has a low energetic cost. c) their eggs are not permeable to liquid d) they live on land. 19. A brachiopod can be distinguished from a bivalve by the presence of a) two hinged shells. b) a digestive system with separate mouth and...
Bluegill sunfish, a species of freshwater fish, prefer to feed in the open water in summer, but, in the presence of predators, they tend to hide in the weeds near shore. A study compared the growth rate of bluegills that fed in the open water with the growth rate of bluegills that fed only in near-shore vegetation. "Open-water" and "near-shore" fish were both measured in eight lakes, and the mean growth rate of open-water fish was compared to the mean...
Compare osmoregulation strategies in vertebrates living in freshwater vs. salt water and bony fish vs. cartilaginous fish vs. marine mammals.
A fish is placed in a freshwater environment with a low NaCl concentration environment. The pressure tolerance of fish cells membrane is 5 atm, the surronding osmotic pressure on the cell membrane is 28.6 atm. Luckily, cell membranes have ion channels which allow salt concentration to change. If the following "reaction" follows zero order kinetics, with a reaction constant of 10 mM/hr, how long does the fish need to acclimised to its new salt concentration? Na+ (inside) + Cl- (inside)...
