Chapter 40, Problem 2TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The osmoregulation is maintained in the body of water organisms by the process of osmosis that allows the loss of water from the gills or entry of water into the gills, whereas the electrolytes are lost by diffusion or they enter into the body of the organism by diffusion.
