Document Summary
What is the salinity percent in salt water(sea water) compared to your. Arthropods and vertebrates (mostly the invertebrates) 1million species. Adapted organs (digestive system(reduce water losst)/kidney/bladder(replace lost water)) Reduce the water loss and replacement of water. Using our system"s metabolic process reduce water loss to waste. 3. 5% in sea water compared to 2%(max) in urine. Body can"t output enough salt to balance the salinity intake(steal water from body to dilute salt intake). Like lions, during the day they conserve their energy and hunt at night. Tubule of the nephron closest to the input of solution from the ureter. This is where most of the ions and water are either actively or passively diffused into the cortex of the kidney. This is the final convoluted tubule in the nephron before the urine is passed out of the kidneys. Increases in solute concentration the deeper into the kidney you go (low []) cortex (isotonic)->outer medulla-> inner medulla.
