    Organisms in Marine Environments

    Uploaded by

    Marine organisms live in an environment with lower water potential than inside their cells. To prevent water loss by osmosis, they actively pump ions into cells to reduce the water potential gradient across their cell membranes. This allows marine organisms to reduce water loss through their cell membranes.
