Osmoregulators

Osmoconformers
|
|
|
neither, they require the same amount of energy

|
None of the above
|
Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct option is ‘Excretion’.
Detailed explanation-2: -Osmoregulation primarily involves moving ions across body membranes against the concentration gradient and is thus an energy intensive process.
Detailed explanation-3: -Invertebrates. Most osmoconformers are marine invertebrates such as echinoderms (such as starfish), mussels, marine crabs, lobsters, jellyfish, ascidians (sea squirts-primitive chordates), and scallops. Some insects are also osmoconformers.
Detailed explanation-4: -The key difference between osmoregulators and osmoconformers is that osmoregulators regulate the salt concentration by spending a high amount of energy while osmoconformers spend a very low amount of energy to regulate osmolarity.
