Lecture 11 Excretion
Exchange ions with environment
Diffusion
Movement of solutes through a liquid
Osmosis
Movement of water to balance
concentration
Semi-permeable membrane
‘Osmolarity’ is the sum of osmotically
active particles in solution
Osmoregulation is the controlled
movement of solutes between internal
fluid and the environment
Isotonic solution
o Same concentration
Hypotonic solution
o Concentration lower
Hypertonic solution
o Higher concentration
Passive Transport
*down concentration gradient
Active
Transport
Bulk Transport
Types of
Transport

Materials
Transported?
O2, CO2, either
alcohol, water,
urea, fatty acids,
glycerol and
some amino
acids (mostly
lipids)
Water only
Glucose, K+,
Cl-, HCO3-,
some amino
acids,
hydrophilic
(lipophobic)
can’t pass
though
Na+, K+, Cl-,
salt, glucose,
urea. E.g.
absorption of
glucose by cell
in small
intestine.
Large insoluble food particles
- foreign, virus/bacteria
ingested by white blood cells,
mucus-secreted
Fluidity allows membrane to
change shape, break and
reform
How it
Works
Passive net
movement down
concentration
gradient
Hotter, the
faster they move
Across a
partially
permeable
membrane
Involves
specific carrier
protein within
membrane
Against the
concentration
gradient. Energy
is supplied by
ATP. Only takes
place in living
organisms.
‘pinching’ into a
vacuole . Types:
Pinocytosis
liquids
Phagocytosis
solids
Receptor-
mediated
Fusion of
vacuole and
membrane for
secretion of
cellular waste.
E.g. insulin
secreted from
cell in pancreas

Body fluids and compartments
Regulate intake of water, salt, nutrients and wastes in order to maintain
homeostasis
Use active transport to modify osmosis and diffusion
Extent of which organism does this is dictated by environmental conditions
and internal conditions
Osmoconfomer
o Internal conditions matches external environment
o Saltier water internal conditions will follow
o Narrow range of which it can survive
o Majority invertebrates
Sea water invertebrates tend to have ion concentrations very
similar to sea water in which they inhabit
Exchange of ions is very low
Freshwater has a much lower ion concentration
Hyperosmotic regulator
o Adjust internal conditions independently from external conditions
o Maintain hyperosmotic internal osmotic concentration with respect to
external environment
o Large range of conditions of which it can survive
o Shore crab
Water Balance and Waste Disposal
Net balance between gain and loss
Must be controlled
Animals vary in ability and tolerance
Water Loss
Water Gain
Evaporation
o From body surface
o From respiratory surface
Osmosis
Faeces
Urine
Other secretions (e.g. sweat)
Drinking
Uptake via body surface
From water (osmosis)
From air
Water in food
Metabolic water (sugar + O2 CO2 + H2O)
o High metabolic rate will produce
more water
o Australian marsupials in low
temperature, their temperature will
increase don’t need to drink
water
Waste Disposal
Hydrolyse ingested proteins and cellular proteins amino acids and ammonia
as by product (fish)
Birds and reptiles produce uric acids
Mammals produce urea
Sharks retain some urea as osmoregulatory component
Osmoregulation in Freshwater
Invertebrates and vertebrates have similar challenge

Document Summary

Lecture 11 excretion: exchange ions with environment. O2, co2, either alcohol, water, urea, fatty acids, glycerol and some amino acids (mostly lipids) Cl-, hco3-, some amino acids, hydrophilic (lipophobic) can"t pass though. E. g. absorption of glucose by cell in small intestine. Foreign, virus/bacteria ingested by white blood cells, mucus-secreted. Fluidity allows membrane to change shape, break and reform. Fusion of vacuole and membrane for secretion of cellular waste. Diffusion: movement of solutes through a liquid. Osmosis: movement of water to balance concentration, semi-permeable membrane. Osmolarity" is the sum of osmotically active particles in solution: osmoregulation is the controlled movement of solutes between internal fluid and the environment. Isotonic solution: same concentration, hypotonic solution, concentration lower, hypertonic solution, higher concentration. Water balance and waste disposal: net balance between gain and loss, must be controlled, animals vary in ability and tolerance. Water loss: evaporation, from body surface, from respiratory surface, osmosis, faeces, urine, other secretions (e. g. sweat)
