VACUOLES ARE BEING
USED BY CELLS TO

OSMOSIS IS UTILIZED BY PLANTS

TO EXTRACT WATER AND
INCREASE LONG TERM STABILITY.
OSMOSIS HELPS TO ENSURE THAT
THE APPROPRIATE PERCENTAGE OF
WATER PRESSURE AND VOLUME IS
SUPPLIED WITHIN ALL OF A
PLANT'S CELLS AND STRUCTURES,
HOWEVER MAMMALS CONSUME
WATER BY OSMOSIS FROM THEIR
INTESTINES TO THEIR BLOOD.

1-5. WHAT IS OSMOREGULATION?

-IN BIOLOGY, OSMOREGULATION IS THE MANAGEMENT OF AN INTERNAL EQUILIBRIUM
INVOLVING WATER AND SOLUBLE MATERIALS BY AN ORGANISM DESPITE OF ENVIRONMENTAL
CIRCUMSTANCES. SINCE THE CELLS HAVE THE SAME OSMOTIC PRESSURE AS THE SEA,
OSMOSIS (THE FLOW OF A SOLVENT THROUGHOUT A SEMIPERMEABLE MEMBRANE) APPEARS
TO HAPPEN WITHOUT THE NECESSITY FOR REGULATORY REGIMES IN MANY SEA CREATURES.
OTHER SPECIES, ON THE OTHER HAND, MUST ACTIVELY ABSORB, PRESERVE, OR EXPEL WATER
OR SALTS TO MAINTAIN THEIR INTERNAL WATER-MINERAL CONTENT.

6-10. WHAT IS THE IMPORTANT ROLE OF OSMOREGULATION IN

CARRYING OUT ESSENTIAL LIFE PROCESSES?
-OSMOREGULATION IS FUNDAMENTAL FOR ORGANISMS SINCE IT
PERMITS THEM TO KEEP A STABLE OSMOTIC PRESSURE THROUGHOUT
THEIR BODIES. IT IS THE PROCESS WHEREBY THEY WORK TOGETHER TO
MAINTAIN AN ADEQUATE QUANTITY OF HIGHER SOLUTE
CONCENTRATION AND WATER IN THE ORGANISM'S BODILY FLUIDS.
DISCHARGE IS A BODILY FUNCTION.
THE TECHNIQUE USED BY ORGANISMS TO DETOX THE BODY OF WASTE
SUBSTANCES AND OTHER CHEMICALS THAT, IN HIGH ENOUGH
CONCENTRATIONS, CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO THE BODY.

1. COPY AND FINISH THE SENTENCES: THE FIRST AND MOST RELEVANT THING
THAT I HAVE LEARNED THROUGHOUT THIS LESSON WAS ABOUT AN
ORGANISM'S PHYSIOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT AND THE IMPORTANCE OF
LIQUIDS THROUGHOUT ONE'S DEVELOPMENT AND WELLBEING.

2. HOW CAN YOU USE THIS LESSON IN A NEW SITUATION IN THE FUTURE? I
CAN APPLY THIS INFORMATION WITH IN THE FUTURE BY SHARING MY
LEARNING OF IT WITH OTHERS.
