Explanation

The kangaroo rat is well known for its ability to obtain water by oxidizing lipids in its diet. This metabolic water helps the animal survive in arid environments where free water is scarce.

Name the animals with freshwater habit in which (i) endosmosis is possible (ii) Excess water in removed bygreen glands (iii) Green glands removes water in the from of urine

Explanation

Crustaceans like Astacus (a freshwater crayfish) have specialized excretory organs known as green glands, which help in osmoregulation by removing excess water in the form of urine. Freshwater animals need to constantly manage the influx of water due to endosmosis.

Explanation

Marine fish are adapted to live in saltwater environments, where they regulate their internal salt concentration to match the surrounding water. If a marine fish is placed in fresh water, it cannot adapt to the sudden change in salinity and will suffer from osmotic shock, leading to its death. Therefore, the correct answer is 'No, Because it can not adapt.'

In which of the following aquatic ecosystems habitat fluid (liquid) is very concetrated compared to body fluid

Explanation

Marine habitats have a high concentration of salts compared to the body fluids of marine organisms. This creates a hypertonic environment, where the concentration of solutes in the habitat fluid is higher than in the body fluid of the organisms. Therefore, marine organisms often have to regulate their internal osmotic balance to survive.

What true for the following statements ? Statement X : During evolution many species, by continuous development of their internal environment, made their physiological processes more efficient. Statement Y: Organisms show adaptations in order to survive in the environment

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

Both statements X and Y are true. During evolution, species have indeed developed their internal environments to make physiological processes more efficient (Statement X). Additionally, organisms show various adaptations to survive and thrive in their specific environments (Statement Y). These adaptations can be structural, physiological, or behavioral.
